Which of the following acts as a circuit protective device?

Options

  1. AConductor
  2. BInductor
  3. CSwitch
  4. DFuse

Correct answer

D. Fuse

Step-by-step solution

Fuse is used for protecting appliances due to short circuiting or overloading. The fuse is rated for a certain maximum current and blows off when a current more than the rated value flows through it.
