Correct answer
1

Step-by-step explanation

In the above diagram, 6Ω is short circuit. Therefore, we can remove it.

In the left part, 2 Ω and 2 Ω are in parallel combination, which will give us 1 Ω which again in turn is in series combination with the 2 Ω(adjacent to 3 Ω resistor), therefore net contribution of this part will be 1 Ω+2 Ω=3 Ω

Now, all three 3 Ω are in parallel across point A & B, therefore Req=3×13=1 Ω
