Solution

The correct option is A Stay inside the car.
During thunderstorm and lightning, no open place is safe. If you are sitting inside a car, you are safe inside because lightning will travel around the surface of the vehicle and then go to ground. All other options (tree, pole and under the car) have greater chances of being struck by the lightning.
