Solution

The correct option is C Because a car or a bus is insulated from the Earth.
A car or a bus is safe during lightning because the lightning will travel around the surface of the vehicle and then go to ground. The metallic frame of the car, being a good conductor, would direct the current around the objects and discharge it safely to the ground while shielding the objects inside the car.
