Solution

The correct option is B Using a mobile phone
It is safe to use mobile phones or cordless phones as there is no chance of electric shock due to lightning during thunder-storm. Lightning can strike telephone cords, electrical wires, and metal pipes, so, contact with these should be avoided. It is also dangerous to stand under a tree, as it can be uprooted during a thunderstorm.
