Solution

The correct option is A Inside a car
Answer is option C.

A fully-enclosed, all-metal vehicle is very safe, but we should make sure that we do not touch interior metallic areas of a vehicle. The lightning charge goes around the outside of the vehicle, creating a Faraday effect and protecting the occupants inside.
