Correct Answer

A

Explanation

To determine the correct fuse rating for the electric device, you can use the formula:

Fuse rating (in amperes) = Power rating (in watts) / Voltage rating (in volts)

In this case, the power rating is 2000 watts and the voltage rating is 250 volts. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:

Fuse rating = 2000 watts / 250 volts

Fuse rating = 8 amperes

Therefore, the correct fuse rating for the device would be 8 amperes.
