Answer

Answer:

B. touching metal objects

Brief Explanation:

During electrical storms, metal is a good conductor of electricity. Touching metal objects can increase the risk of being struck by lightning as lightning can easily travel through metal. Going close to open flames is not directly related to electrical - storm risks. Driving vehicles (especially cars with metal exteriors) can be relatively safe as the metal frame acts as a Faraday cage in some cases. Using a phone is generally safe as long as it's not plugged in, and the risk is very low compared to touching metal.
