It'll take the path of least resistance. In practice a tiny bit of current might still go down path B since the wires will also carry a bit of resistance, but most will go down path A.
So in theory (delusional ideal physics world/on a test question) no current would pass through the resistor, thus no voltage drop?
But on a slightly related note, if current takes the path of least resistance then why doesn't it do that when resistors are in parallel with one having less resistance?
