Solution

The correct option is A Live wire
Fuses are always connected in series with the components to be protected from overcurrent, so that when the fuse blows (opens) it will open the entire circuit and stop current through the components. A fuse connected in one branch of a parallel circuit, of course, would not affect current through any of the other branches.
