Explanation:

To prevent future electrical shocks, the root cause (a faulty switch) needs to be addressed. Option A (rubber - soled slippers) is a general safety measure but not a fix for the faulty switch. Option B (covering outlets with safety switches) doesn't address the switch issue. Option C (calling an electrician to repair or replace the switch) directly targets the problem of the faulty switch that caused the shock.

Answer:

C. Call an electrician to repair or replace the switch.
