Grounding protects the human if some live wire touches exposed metal parts. For an overcurrent, the electricity is just an excess in your brown and blue wires and the yellow/green won't prevent it to happen. Need something that can control how much voltage runs in the blue and brow wires. A surge protector or a UPS will do the job As a UPS is more expensive than a surge protector, A is the answer

Selected Answer: A
The LEAST expensive. Surge protector is the cheapest option and provides good hardware protection. D would be a good option, but is way more expensive, so not in line with the question

Grounding is good for preventing the transmission of electric charge onto hardware or people. it can protect equipment from external environmental impacts like rugs, wearing clothes susceptible to friction etc. as well as users when working with hardware plugged into main power.

Other Exam dump websites give a mix of grounding and surge protector for the answer, so IDK. UPS isn't the cheapest.
