B Correct answer
Explanation

Connecting multiple appliances to one socket draws excessive current through the same wiring, causing overheating due to resistance. This heat can damage insulation, cause fires, or burn out wiring. The appliances themselves aren't damaged, and voltage drop is less critical than thermal safety.
