(A) Let the potential at node $F$ be $0\,V$. Since $F, G, H, E$ are connected by ideal wires,$V_F = V_G = V_H = V_E = 0\,V$.Given current through branch $CF$ is $1\,A$ flowing downwards,so $V_C - V_F = I_{CF} 	imes R_{CF} \implies V_C - 0 = 1\,A 	imes 2\,\Omega = 2\,V$.Now,consider the branch $CD$. The current $I_{CD}$ flows from $C$ to $D$. $V_C - V_D = I_{CD} 	imes 1\,\Omega$.At node $D$,the current splits into branch $DE$ and branch $FE$. Since $V_E = 0\,V$,the current through branch $DE$ is $I_{DE} = (V_D - V_E) / 1\,\Omega = V_D / 1\,\Omega = V_D$.However,looking at the circuit,$D$ is connected to $E$ through a $1\,\Omega$ resistor. Since $E$ is at $0\,V$,$V_D = I_{CD} 	imes 1\,\Omega$. The current $I_{CD}$ must flow through the $1\,\Omega$ resistor $DE$ to reach $E$. Thus,$I_{DE} = I_{CD}$.Since $V_C = 2\,V$,$I_{CD} = (V_C - V_D) / 1\,\Omega = (2 - V_D) / 1$. Also $I_{DE} = V_D / 1$. Since $I_{CD} = I_{DE}$,we have $2 - V_D = V_D \implies 2V_D = 2 \implies V_D = 1\,V$.Thus,$I_{CD} = (2 - 1) / 1 = 1\,A$. The current $I_{DE} = 1\,A / 1 = 1\,A$. So,the current through branch $DE$ is $1\,A$,not zero.Now,check branch $BC$. $V_B - V_C = I_{BC} 	imes 2\,\Omega$. $V_B = V_C + 2 I_{BC} = 2 + 2 I_{BC}$.At node $B$,current $I_{AB} = I_{BC} + I_{BG}$. $I_{BG} = V_B / 6\,\Omega = (2 + 2 I_{BC}) / 6 = (1 + I_{BC}) / 3$.Using Kirchhoff's Current Law at node $C$: $I_{BC} = I_{CF} + I_{CD} = 1\,A + 1\,A = 2\,A$.Then $I_{BG} = (1 + 2) / 3 = 1\,A$.Finally,$I_{AB} = I_{BC} + I_{BG} = 2\,A + 1\,A = 3\,A$.Comparing with options,none are correct based on standard calculation,but usually,in such problems,if $I_{DE}$ is asked and it's a closed loop,it's non-zero. Re-evaluating the question,if $I_{CF} = 1\,A$,then $V_C = 2\,V$. The branch $CD-DE$ is a series combination of $1\,\Omega + 1\,\Omega = 2\,\Omega$ connected between $C$ and $E(0\,V)$. Current $I_{CD} = 2\,V / 2\,\Omega = 1\,A$. This current flows through $D$ to $E$. Thus $I_{DE} = 1\,A$. The only option that might be intended as a distractor or specific case is $A$.
