Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
Because there is no special attractive force that keeps a person stuck to a high power line. The actual reason is that a current of the order of 0.05 A or even less is enough to cause disruption in our nervous system. As a result, the affected person may temporarily lose the ability to exercise nervous control to free themselves from the high power line.
