Solution

The correct option is A True
  1. The main use of earthing wire is to conduct excess current from the electric devices to the ground.
  2. Thus, the current would directly flow to the ground, because the earth is a good conductor of electricity, rather than entering our body, avoiding electric shock.

Hence, the given statement is true.
