Solution
The correct option is C in the ground
A lightning conductor is a device used to protect buildings from the damaging effect of lightning.
Lightning conductor consists of a metallic rod, taller than the
building, which 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 lower end is buried deep in the ground.
Hence, if lightning hits the building, it will strike the rod and be conducted to ground through wire.
