Solution

The correct option is A series, live
A fuse wire is connected in series with live wire. If we connect the fuse in the neutral wire in the circuit, then due to excessive flow of electric current when the fuse burns, current will stop flowing in the circuit, but the appliance will still remain connected to the higher potential through the live wire. So the user might get an electric shock even when the fuse is blown.
