An electric circuit contains an ideal battery of potential difference \(\varepsilon\) connected to three identical resistors, each of resistance \(R\), and two switches, \(S_1\) and \(S_2\). Resistor \(R_1\) is connected in series with a parallel combination of two branches: one branch containing switch \(S_1\) and resistor \(R_2\), and the other branch containing switch \(S_2\) and resistor \(R_3\). Initially, switch \(S_1\) is closed and switch \(S_2\) is open. Switch \(S_2\) is then closed.

Option	Total Current \(I_{\text{total}}\)	Potential Difference \(\Delta V_1\)	Power Dissipated \(P_2\)
(A)	Decreases	Decreases	Increases
(B)	Increases	Decreases	Increases
(C)	Increases	Increases	Increases
(D)	Increases	Increases	Decreases

Which row in the table correctly describes what happens to the total current supplied by the battery, the potential difference across resistor \(R_1\), and the rate of energy dissipation in resistor \(R_2\)?
