• D. Take shelter under metallic shades

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C)

The correct options are
B

Get out of water logged areas

C

Take shelter under smaller trees

Lightning strikes on metallic surfaces and high rise structures. Therefore we should take shelter under small trees and stay away from metallic structures. Also, normal water is a good conductor; therefore staying in waterlogged areas can be hazardous.
