Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
It is because tap water contains a lot of salt and ions, which pass on to our hands when we wash them. So now, if we touch the electrical appliances with wet hands, the electric current passes through the object until it reaches our hands, as a result of which we may get an electric shock.
