Solution

The correct option is A
Because wood is a poor conductor of electricity

Wood is a poor conductor of electricity. It does not allow electric current to flow through it easily and is a poor conductor of electricity. But the human body is a good conductor of electric current and that's why when the little body tried to save the dog, he got trapped because current also started flowing through his body and he became a part of the electric circuit.
