Solution

The correct option is A True
Any element requires free electrons to conduct heat and electricity.
Non-metals have a tendency to gain or share electrons with other atoms and are covalently bonded. For this reason, no free electrons are present in the lattice which makes them bad conductors of heat and electricity.
