Why can't A be the correct option? Someone please explain.

Acute power shortage means severe power shortage.

So in such situation, "Switching off the lights when not in use" is not appropriate. Using lights only when its inevitable (unavoidable) will be appropriate.

Owing means "due to".

@Naga.

Statement A means to use alternate sources like solar power/less popular ones such as burning firewood or dung cake which may not be available in every locality/not in a modern setup. But you can also reduce the burden on electricity grids by using the supply sparingly and thereby preventing more outages.
