A: it has four terminals out of which two are short circuited with a thick strip or three terminals out of them one
terminal with long strip on one side so that the continuity can be maintained for two circuits (ways)

is kept long enough. The area is bigger because in case of the short circuit, current will be certainly more than the
current rating of the appliance.
