Not sure...?

The Attempt at a Solution

I believe the answer should be A or B.

I'm thinking the live and Earth wires will form a complete circuit. Since there is very low resistance, a huge current will be drawn, breaking the fuse.

...but it could be B since Earth wire is attached to metal case & now the Earth wire is connected to the live wire?

...?

Thanks in advance!

The live wire (brown) is connected to the Earth wire. What would happen if you touch a live wire when standing barefoot on a wet floor? (Do not try it!) ehild
