A non-ideal battery with electromotive force \(\varepsilon\) and internal resistance \(r\) is connected to a circuit containing a resistor \(R_1\) in series with a parallel combination of two identical resistors, \(R_2\) and \(R_3\). Switch \(S\) is initially open. When switch \(S\) is closed, a third identical resistor \(R_4\) is connected in parallel with \(R_2\) and \(R_3\).

	Battery Terminal Voltage \(V_{\text{term}}\)	Power Dissipated by \(R_2\)
(A)	Decreases	Decreases
(B)	Decreases	Increases
(C)	Remains the same	Decreases
(D)	Increases	Increases

Which row in the table correctly indicates how the terminal voltage of the battery and the power dissipated by resistor \(R_2\) change after switch \(S\) is closed?
