Solution

The correct option is B Silver
Substances that can allow electricity to pass through them, are called conductors. Such can be easily charged by conduction, i.e. bringing the objects into physical contact with a charged body and allowing electric charge to flow through. Out of the given substances, silver is the only conductor, and hence, it can be charged by conduction.
