A
Placing an IC in a non-conductive plastic bag
B
Placing an IC on a grounded mat
C
Repeated sags in current supplied from outlets
D
Touching metal on the chassis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) from this voltage can cause pain. The discharge is not life threatening but it still hurts! In simple words, static electricity is the imbalance of charges. The main electronic component affected by these devious charges are semiconductors.

Detailed explanation-2: -Question: What materials are the biggest cause ESD damage? Answer: Plastics and other synthetic materials cause the most trouble because they are insulators and trap charges on their surfaces.

Detailed explanation-3: -According to the ESD Association, the average loss due to static electricity ranges up to 33%. Some major companies even report that 25% of all identified electronic part failures are due to ESD.
