Solution

The correct option is D either (a) or (b) above
Fuse wires are used to save the home appliances from damages by large currents. so they are made up of such materials which have high resistance and low melting point so that they can melt down when unexpected amount of current is passed through . For this work either tin metal or tin-lead alloy will be appropriate because alloys have high resistance and low melting point.
