Solution

The correct option is D

Run away from buildings


Standing on a table, climbing trees and standing still can cause injuries, as things might fall on you.

So, staying away from buildings and going to an open space, is the right thing to do. Seek cover under strong tables, chairs and beds. You can also stand in a doorway since they are the strongest part of the home. Avoid staying near electric posts.
