  1. Parallel Circuit
because all will have same voltage across them i.e. voltage of battery.
  1. Parallel Circuit
because all have higher voltage across them.
  1. Series Circuit
because if one bulb goes out current won't reach the next bulb.
  1. Series Circuit
because Equivalent Resistance will be less and more current will be drawn in parallel circuit.
