The function of a fuse in an electric circuit is to 
break the circuit when the current exceeds a certain value
save energy by reducing voltage
ensure that the current in the circuit exceeds a certain value
save energy by reducing the current

Explanation

When the current flowing through the fuse exceeds its rated value, the fuse element melts, breaking the circuit and preventing further flow of electricity. This helps prevent overheating and potential fires.
