• D. Helium

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Silver

The explanation for the correct option -

Option (C) Silver - Silver is the best conductor of electricity due to the availability of free electrons to move more than other elements.

• Conductor- A conductor is a material that contains movable electric charges.
• Metallic conductors, such as silver, copper, and aluminum have free electrons to move.

The explanation for the incorrect option -

Option (A) Tungsten - It is not a good conductor of heat and electricity and it is used in electric bulbs.

Option (B) Copper - Copper is the next best conductor of electricity to silver.

Option (D) Helium - It is a noble gas and not electrically conductive.

Therefore, option (C) silver is the correct answer.
