During a thunderstorm, if you are caught outdoors and cannot reach a safe building or vehicle, what is the recommended position to minimize your risk of being struck by lightning?

✓ Correct Answer: Option C

Lying flat increases your contact with the ground, making you more vulnerable to ground current. Tall trees attract lightning. Water conducts electricity, making it extremely dangerous. Crouching low with feet together minimizes your profile and reduces the potential path for ground current to travel through your body.
