this can damage the electrical meter
the appliance will not get full voltage

The correct answer is: A. this can damage the appliances due to overloading.

When you connect too many appliances to the same power socket, the current flowing through the socket can exceed its rated value. This can cause the appliances to overheat and malfunction, or even catch fire. In some cases, it can also damage the domestic wiring.

The amount of current that a power socket can safely handle is usually indicated on its label. It is important to make sure that the total current drawn by the appliances you are connecting does not exceed this value.

If you need to connect more appliances than can be safely powered by a single socket, you can use a power strip or extension cord. However, it is important to choose a power strip or extension cord that is rated for the total current that you will be drawing.

It is also important to make sure that the power strip or extension cord is in good condition and does not have any damage to the cord or plugs. Damaged power strips and extension cords can pose a fire hazard.

If you are not sure how to safely connect multiple appliances to a power socket, it is best to consult with an electrician.
