Explanation:

To determine the best action during a tornado warning at home, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Going outdoors during a tornado warning is extremely dangerous as tornadoes can strike suddenly and have strong winds/debris.
• Option B: Boarding windows is not the immediate action; the priority is to seek shelter, not prepare windows while exposed.
• Option C: Going to the lowest floor or an interior room (away from windows) and covering oneself is the recommended safety measure, as these areas are more protected from the tornado's impact.

Answer:

C. Go to the lowest floor or an interior room of the home and cover yourself.
