      Using proper insulating materials

    • B.

      Dehumidified air

    • C.

      Humid air

    • D.

      Using non-conducting packaging materials

    Correct Answer
    C. Humid air
    Explanation
    Humid air helps to dissipate and lessen the effects of electrostatic discharges. When the air is humid, it contains moisture which can conduct electricity. This conductivity helps to prevent the buildup of static charges and allows any existing charges to dissipate more easily. In contrast, dry air can increase the likelihood of electrostatic discharges as it does not provide a conductive path for the charges to flow. Therefore, maintaining a humid environment can be beneficial in reducing the impact of electrostatic discharges.
