In the circuit below all light bulbs are identical.
In order of brightest to dimmest the light bulbs are ...
This is the best I could do, to try and replicate what the original circuit looks like : where the x's are just the wire; A,B, C, D, and E are the lightbulbs; and the = is the battery/capacitor.. (Note: all the ~ were just to fill up the empty spaces, otherwise my diagram would go wacko, hope this works!)

The choices are as follows:
1) D = E > A > B = C
2) A > D > E > B > C
3) D = E > B = C > A
4) A > D > E > B = C
5) A > D = E > B = C
