Which of the listed statements is correct when using an digital multimeter set up as an ohmmeter?

Correct Answer: Option D — With the test leads shorted together, a reading of 'zero' ohms will be displayed.

An ohmmeter passes a small internal current through test leads and measures resulting voltage drop. When leads are shorted together, zero resistance exists between them, causing the display to read zero ohms, confirming instrument lead integrity prior to component testing.
