The given figure shows a capacitor C and a resistor R connected in series to an ac source. $V_1$ and $V_2$ are voltmeters and A is an ammeter.
Which of the following statements is correct ?
(a) Current in the circuit lags in phase with voltage shown in $V_2$.
(b) The voltage shown in $V_1$ is ahead in phase with voltage shown in $V_2$.
(c) The current in the circuit and the voltage shown in $V_1$ are always in phase.
(d) The voltage shown in $V_1$ lags behind in phase with the voltage shown in $V_2$.
