Four wires $AB, BC, CD, DA$ of resistance $4\, \Omega$ each and a fifth wire $BD$ of resistance $8\, \Omega$ are joined to form a rectangle $ABCD$,where $BD$ is a diagonal. The effective resistance between the points $A$ and $B$ is:

  • A
    $24\, \Omega$
  • B
    $16\, \Omega$
  • C
    $\frac{4}{3}\, \Omega$
  • D
    $\frac{8}{3}\, \Omega$
