Answer (2)

The correct answer is A, the circuit breaker, as it protects against overcurrent situations and can be easily reset. Fuses need replacement when they blow, and GFCIs are intended for ground fault protection. Thus, circuit breakers are ideal for managing electrical overcurrent effectively. ;

The best answer is A, the circuit breaker, as it protects against overcurrent situations and can be easily reset, unlike fuses that need replacement. Ground-fault circuit interrupters focus on ground faults and are not specifically for overcurrent protection. In conclusion, circuit breakers are ideal for managing electrical systems safely.
