Solution

The correct option is D It protects the appliances from large amounts of current.
A Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) contains switches that automatically turn off whenever current exceeds safe limit. This protects all the home appliances from getting burnt due to high currents. It can be reset automatically or manually to restore normal operation. It is a device that just needs one-time installation and works for a long period of time.
