Answer 1

The correct option is D All of these

Some precaution to be taken while using electricity:

1. Know the wire code of your country.
   
2. Always check all your GFCI’s once a month. A GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) is a RCD (Residual Current Device). They have become very common in modern homes, especially damp areas like the bathroom and kitchen, as they help avoid electrical shock hazards. It is designed to disconnect quickly enough to avoid any injury caused by over current or short circuit faults.
   
3. Always use a circuit breaker or fuse with the appropriate current rating.
