This type of contact is made when any part of the body touches any conductive object in contact with an energized conductor:

  1. Indirect contact

  2. False

  3. Side

  4. Z133

The correct answer is: Indirect contact

The term that describes the scenario where any part of the body makes contact with a conductive object that is in contact with an energized conductor is indeed indirect contact. In this context, indirect contact occurs when a person touches a conducting object that is not directly energized but is conductive enough to carry current due to its connection to an energized source. This situation can lead to electrical shock or injury, emphasizing the importance of proper safety measures when working near electrical conductors. The incorrect options do not accurately define this type of contact. For example, labeling the scenario as "false" or associating it with terms like "side" or "Z133" doesn’t relate to the nature of the electrical contact being described and may refer to something entirely unrelated within the context of electrical safety and arboriculture practices.
