resistance of ammeter is much smaller than the resistance in parallel.
(B) If the devices are ideal, a large current will flow through the ammeter and it will be damaged
(C) If the devices are ideal, ammeter will read zero current and voltmeter will read the emf of cell
(D) The devices may get damaged if emf of the cell is very high and the meters are nonideal.
