Solution

The correct option is B False
In domestic circuits, appliances are connected in parallel. This means any fault in any of the appliance does not affect the appliances connected at other places in the circuit. So if a bulb is short circuited it would get disconnected from the circuit without affecting any other component in the circuit.
