If a potential is applied across A and B, due to symmetry, the points C, O and D will have same potentials. We can therefore join all these points without affecting current in any branch. The network then reduces to

Therefore, the equivalent resistance is

R_{\text {eq }}=\frac{R}{3}+\frac{R}{3}=\frac{2 R}{3}

Hence, answer (b) is correct
