Solution

The correct options are
A
Mercury

D Lead
Mercury is not a very good conductor of electricity even though it is a metal. It forms an exception to the general trend that metals are a good conductor of electricity. All metals conduct electricity to some extent. Also lead does conduct electricity but not upto that extent that it can be called a good conductor. So it is a poor conductor.
