Solution

The correct option is A B and C
As per the statement and given options
B. you are in a jungle, go under a canopy of small trees and bushes.
Although takings shelter under a tree is not safe as lightening can
strike the tree. But if you are in forests, choose a short tree rather
than a tall tree to take shelter.
C. you are out in the open, crouch on your feet, do not stand up or lie on the ground. This way, a minimal surface of your body is touching the ground and, if a lightning strike does come through
you off the ground, the current will most likely travel up one leg and down the other, missing vital organs like your heart.

Hence Option B and C are correct.
