Not enough information given for an (a) or (b) answer. A resistor will
reduce both ac and dc current. A capacitor will reduce ac current dependent
on frequency and value of capacitor, while completely blocking dc current.
If we are talking dc, then a resistor will reduce the current somewhat
whereas a capacitor will reduce it to zero after the initial inrush current.
