Solution

The correct option is B MCB
Answer is B.
Fuse boxes contain safety devices called fuses or circuit breakers - MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) which are designed to prevent an excess of electric current entering your house by only allowing a certain maximum current to flow in. When the electrical current is too large, an electromagnet attracts a spring loaded switch which breaks the circuit and cuts the power supply. The switch must be reset before any current can flow again.
