The correct response is:
The resistor decreases the current by transforming electrical energy into different types of energy.
Adding a resistor to an electric circuit restricts the flow of electric current, resulting in a decrease in the current. Resistors dissipate electrical energy as heat (and sometimes light, depending on the type of resistor), which effectively reduces the overall current flowing through the circuit.
