During an uneven lightning strike, the safest option is to remain inside the car with the windows closed (option A). This is because a car acts as a Faraday cage, which means that it distributes the electric charge around its exterior, effectively protecting the occupants inside. Opening the windows (option B) can allow lightning to enter the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury. Getting down from the car and sitting down (option C) exposes you directly to lightning and is highly dangerous. Sitting on top of the car (option D) puts you at an even greater risk, as you become the highest point and more likely to be struck. Therefore, staying inside the car with windows closed is the best way to stay safe.
