Solution

The correct option is A Flood water is a good conductor of electricity.
Water is a good conductor of electricity, and the electrical current flowing through it may prove harmful in the event of a flood causing electrical shocks. Hence, it is recommended that the power supply and all electrical appliances switched off at the time of the flood.
