• A. 110V
• B. 50V
• C. 220V
• D. none of these.

Answer 1

The correct option is C

220V

Explanation for the correct answer:

1. Usually, between the fuse wire and the plug terminal three types of wire connections will be done; live wire, earth wire, and a neutral wire.
2. For this, an electric fuse is placed in the path of the phase wire before being connected to the electric meter to protect against the damage to electrical appliances with an overload current.
3. The potential difference between the live wire and neutral wire is maintained to be $220V.$

Hence, option C is the correct answer.
