Correct answer: C. Copper
- A. Tungsten
- B. Aluminium
- C. Copper
- D. Carbon
Explanation
Among the listed materials, copper has the lowest resistivity and therefore the highest electrical conductivity. Aluminium conducts well but is less conductive than copper, while tungsten and carbon have much higher resistivity.
