Solution

The correct option is B Earthing
Earthing is the process of creating an alternative path for the flow of current safely into the ground. In electricity supply systems, an earthing system or grounding system is circuitry which connects parts of the electric circuit with the ground. Earthing is provided in buildings to protect us from electrical shocks due to any leakage of electric current.
