Correct advantages (check these):
- If one bulb goes out, the other bulbs stay lit.
- If there is a break in one branch of the circuit, current can still flow through the other branches.

Why the others are wrong:
- "If one bulb goes out, the other bulbs go out." — This describes a series circuit, not a parallel one.
- "If there is a break in one branch of the circuit, current cannot flow at all." — Again true for series circuits, not for parallel.
- "Parallel circuits are simple to design and build." / "Parallel circuits are complicated to design and build." — These are subjective; neither is an inherent electrical advantage. The typical practical advantages of parallel wiring are independent operation of loads and each branch receiving full supply voltage.
