Solution

The correct option is D (b) and (c) above.
A fuse operates when excessive current flows through the circuit. In a short circuit, two wires come in contact creating a low resistance path that allows a huge current.
In overloading, too many appliances are used through a single wire causing a huge amount of current to flow.
