Solution

The correct option is A

Earthing


Earthing:- It is the process of creating an alternative path for the flow of fault/excessive currents safely into the ground. In electricity supply systems, an earthing system or grounding system is circuitry which connects parts of the electric circuit to the ground. Earthing is provided in buildings to protect us from electrical shocks due to any leakage of electric current.

Discharging:- The conversion of chemical energy to electric energy within a storage battery.

Hydrolysis:- The chemical breakdown of a compound due to reaction with water.

Electrolysis:- Chemical decomposition produced by passing an electric current through a liquid or solution containing ions.
