Solution

The correct option is D Good thermal conductivity

For cooking utensils, the materials should be able to transfer heat, to cook food. They should be able to withstand high heat and should not corrode.

Aluminium has a good thermal conductivity, a high melting point and it is resistant to corrosion.

It reacts with oxygen to form a protective layer on its surface which prevents the corrosion of metal.

Hence, because of these properties aluminium is used to make cooking utensils.
