d. c. V 0.
zero.

Answer:

(a). d. zero.

(b). c. [tex]V_0[/tex]

Explanation:

(a).

At the instant the switch is closed, there is no current in the resistor ( the inductor has prevented that), and therefore, there is no voltage across the resistor; Hence, choice d is correct.

(b).

Since there is no voltage drop across the resistor, all the voltage of the battery appears in the inductor, i.e the inductor and the battery are at the same potential [tex]V_0[/tex]—and they must be in order to protect Kirchhoff's voltage law.

Thus, choice c stands correct.
