• C. Avoid using electronic equipment
• D. Avoid using an umbrella

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (C), (D)

Avoid using an umbrella

During a thunderstorm, contact with telephone cords, electrical wires, metal pipes and water should be avoided. Carrying an umbrella with a metal cap is not a good idea during thunderstorms because it has a tendency to attract the lightning bolt.
