• D. All of these

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of these

The safety precaution to be taken while using electricity:

1. Always use appropriate insulated rubber gloves and goggles while working on any branch circuit or any other electrical circuit.
   
2. Never try repairing energized equipment. Always check that it is de-energized first by using a tester. When an electric tester touches a live or hot wire, the bulb inside the tester lights up showing that an electrical current is flowing through the respective wire. Check all the wires, the outer metallic covering of the service panel and any other hanging wires with an electrical tester before proceeding with your work.
   
3. Never use an aluminium or steel ladder if you are working on any receptacle at height in your home. An electrical surge will ground you and the whole electric current will pass through your body. Use a bamboo, wooden or a fiberglass ladder instead.
