The correct answer is A. death

Although down, they still carry a huge amount of electrical power and death is the common result of coming into contact with them. The best possible scenario would be to barely survive with heavy burns and organ damage. Minor injuries don't happen when someone touches a downed power line since they are too powerful for people.
