When is a Wheatstone bridge said to be balanced?

Correct answer C. When the potential difference across the galvanometer branch is zero

Explanation

At balance the two ends of the galvanometer branch are at the same potential, so no current flows through the galvanometer and the resistances satisfy P/Q = R/S.
