D) A safety shorting probe

To discharge capacitors before working on de-energized circuits, a safety shorting probe should be used.

This device is specifically designed to safely and effectively short circuit capacitors allowing them to discharge in a controlled manner.

Using a safety shorting probe helps prevent electrical shocks and ensures that the circuit is safe to work on.
