Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is Option A: A) Stand on dry insulating material and pull the person away with isolating material.
Safety of the rescuer is paramount. Using dry insulating material prevents the electrical current from grounding through the rescuer's body, protecting them from becoming a casualty themselves during the rescue.
