Solution

The correct option is A

Electricity may pass through our body


  1. Since there are various ions in the cells of our body like sodium ions, potassium ions, chloride ions, etc. which have the tendency to conduct electricity and it makes our body a good conductor of electricity.
  2. Electric shock occurs when a person comes in contact with an electrical energy source.
  3. Electrical energy flows through a part of the body causing a shock.
  4. Exposure to electrical energy can cause no injury or cause catastrophic damage or death.

Hence, option-A is correct.
