Which one of the following is a safe place during lightning?
- AUnder a tree
- BUnder a light post
- ✓House with lightning arrester
- DHigh wall
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
House with lightning arrester
Lightning arrester arrests lightning and allows a safe path of electricity to ground. Thus it is a safe place inside a house that has a lightning arrester on the top of it. Else, electricity finds a high tower or tree or wall and travels through them to ground. Therefore these are not safe places to take shelter during lightning.
