The correct answer to this question is 2.5 A. To calculate the current, we would use the Ohm's law equation, which is I = V divided by R. In the equation, I is current, which is what we are looking for.

The question gives us the rest of the equation we need, as V is 120, and the R is resistance, which is 48. Plugging those into the equation, we would get I = 120 divided by 48.

When we do the math for the equation, we get 2.5.
