Solution

The correct option is A bad conductor of heat

1) The glass is actually an insulator.

2) It doesn't allow the flow of electrons easily from atom to atom, as seen in substances like copper, and other metals which are excellent conductors of both heat and electricity.

3) Insulators have electrons that are held tightly which means they aren't shared between other atoms.
