Differentiate grounding from bonding with respect to electrical systems in a facility.

• A. Grounding and bonding are the same and perform the same function.
• B. Grounding establishes a reference to earth; bonding ensures conductive parts are at the same potential to prevent shock and stray currents.
• C. Grounding increases system voltage during faults.
• D. Bonding creates a separate protective earth path only for lighting.
