Why each option
The primary function of a basic power strip is to expand the number of electrical outlets available from a single wall socket.
Protection against lightning strikes and power surges is a specific feature of a surge protector, which is more advanced than a basic power strip.
A basic power strip's fundamental purpose is to offer several electrical outlets, allowing multiple devices to draw power from a single wall receptacle simultaneously, thus expanding connectivity.
