Solution

The correct option is A High resistance, low melting point
A fuse protects the circuits and appliances by stopping the flow of any unduly high electric current. A fuse wire has high resistance so that it can handle the large magnitude of currents and it has a low melting point so that it can easily melt and break the circuit due to the flow of accidentally high magnitude of currents.
