For an electric circuit to allow current to flow, it must be a closed circuit. This means that all components are connected in a loop without any breaks.

  1. a battery, insulated wires, and a buzzer - This could create a closed circuit if the buzzer is designed to complete the circuit when connected appropriately, but it's not guaranteed without knowing the specific setup.

  2. a generator, a light bulb, and a closed switch - This is a complete closed circuit. The generator provides power, the switch allows control, and the light bulb uses that power.

  3. a battery, insulated wires, a buzzer, and an open switch - The open switch means that the circuit is incomplete, so no current can flow.

  4. a generator, two light bulbs, and an open switch - Similar to the previous one, the open switch means the circuit is not complete, so no current can flow.

The best answer is: a generator, a light bulb, and a closed switch.
