Answer»

The correct answer is (c) House with lightning arrester

Best explanation: Lightning arrester arrests lightning and allows a safe path of electricity to ground. Thus it is a safe place inside a house that has a lightning arrester on the TOP of it. ELSE, electricity finds a high tower or TREE or WALL and travels through them to ground. Therefore these are not safe places to TAKE shelter during lightning.
