The statement that best defines the resistance of an electric circuit is:

"It limits the amount of electrical energy that can pass through a circuit."

Resistance is a property of materials that impedes the flow of electric current, thereby limiting the amount of current (and thus electrical energy) that can pass through a circuit.
