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.
