Solution

The correct option is D Conductor
Electric switch acts like a conductor when it is in the ON position and allows the current to flow in a circuit by completing the circuit. On the other hand, when the switch is in the OFF position, the circuit becomes open and the air gap between the switch terminal acts like an insulator of current and thus does not allow the current to flow.
