The statement that best defines the resistance of an electric circuit is:
**3. It limits the amount of electrical energy that can pass through a circuit.**
Resistance is a measure of how much a material opposes the flow of electric current, thus limiting the amount of current (and therefore energy) that can pass through a circuit.
