(b) A person riding a bicycle will have less risk as the person is in motion .
(c) A person sitting low on the ground will have less risk as the striking of the lightning will fall on something higher than that .
(d) A person standing in an open field will have maximum risk as in that open field he will behave like a stand and the lightning will strike upon him .
