Final Answer : A, Explanation :  The voltage drop across a resistor in a circuit can be calculated using Ohm's Law, V = IR, where V is the voltage across the resistor, I is the current through the resistor, and R is the resistance. For a 2-ohm resistor with 1.5 amps flowing through it, the voltage drop is V = (1.5 amps) * (2 ohms) = 3 volts.
