- BUnder a light post
- CHouse with lightning arrester
- DHigh wall

Answer
- House with lightning arrester
Explanation:
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.
