In a DC circuit consisting of two resistors in series, the power P delivered to resistor R2 is \( \frac{V^{2} R_{2}}{\left ( R_{1} + R_{2} \right )^{2}} . \) If V and R1 are constants, what is the value of R2 that priduces a maximum power in this resistor ?

A R2 = R1

B R2 = - R1

C R2 = 2R1

D R2 = 2R1
