Solution: Answer is (b) use of fuse

An electrical fuse is composed of a thin wire of short length that is composed of tin and lead in the proportion of 75:25 percent. When the current exceeds the specified limit, the fuse melts and the circuits are broken, thereby protecting home appliances from damage.
