• D. None

Answer 1

The correct option is A To capture lightning stroke and conduct discharge current safely to the ground

A lightning conductor is a conducting rod that acts as a path for the charges to go to the ground or the earth. The open end of the rod collects the charges when the lightning strikes and then passes it to the ground through it as the other end of the rod is buried deep within the ground.

Option A is correct.
