Solution

The correct option is B False
The given statement is false because copper is not a good conductor of electricity as compared to glass, The reason is that glass is usually an insulator and have electrons held tightly which means they aren't shared between other atoms, so it is a poor conductor of electricity whereas copper is a metal and has free electrons in it and therefore is good conductor of electricity.
