Solution

The correct option is B False
The speed of transmission of electricity is approximately equal to the speed of light. As the propagation of light is nothing but the propagation of electromagnetic waves which is the same as transmission of electricity. But, speed of light is $3 \times 10^{8} m s^{- 1}$ , not $3 \times 10^{8} k m s^{- 1}$ .
