Solution

The correct option is A

True


A material is said to be a good conductor if it allows electricity to pass through it easily. Materials which are classified as poor conductors does not also allow electricity to pass through them easily. However, if the electrical source is strong enough, it may allow to pass electric current through it. For example, air is a poor conductor of electricity. However, during lightning, air allows the electric current to pass through it.
