Solution

The correct option is D Rubber
Materials that are poor conductors of electricity are called insulators. In the process of charging by conduction where a charged object is used to charge an uncharged object, both the objects must be a good conductors of electricity.
Since aluminium is used as the charging object, insulators like ebonite and rubber cannot be charged by touching them with a aluminium rod.
