The most important safety method used for protecting home appliances from short circuiting or overloading is
(a) earthing
(b) use of fuse
(c) use of stabilizers
(d) use of electric meter

Dear Student

Correct option is (b).

An electric fuse is wire which is made of a material of high resistance and low melting point.
Electric fuse prevents the flow of unduly high electric current and protects the appliances from the damage.
Due to Joule heating, the fuse melts to break the electric circuit.
