Solution

The correct option is B False
  1. The transfer of heat depends upon whether there is a free electron or not.
  2. Metals have free electrons present which can move easily and hence they are good conductors of heat.
  3. Non-metals don't have free electrons present and hence they are bad conductors of heat.
  4. As the non-metals don't have free electrons and also they are bad conductors of heat.
