When two resistors are connected in series, there is less total current in the circuit than if the two resistors were connected in parallel.
When two resistors are connected in parallel, there is less total current in the circuit than if the two resistors were connected in series.
The total current is the same regardless of if the two resistors are connected in series or in parallel.

The correct statement is:
When two resistors are connected in series, there is less total current in the circuit than if the two resistors were connected in parallel.
In a series circuit, the total resistance is the sum of the individual resistances, leading to less current. In parallel, the total resistance is less than the smallest individual resistance, which allows for more current to flow in the circuit.
