Solution
The correct option is B Both a & c
A lightning conductor taller than the
building, is installed in the walls of the
building during its construction. One
end of the rod is kept out in the air and
the other is buried deep in the ground to provide an easy route
for the transfer of electric charge to the
ground.
Earthing is important to protect building from lightning. If proper earthing is not provide than it can damage building and dangerous for life also.
