Solution

The correct option is A Copper
Only copper is used among the given options to make electrical wires as it is a good conductor as well as cheap. Gold and silver are also good conductors but they are very expensive. Phosphorus is a non-metal and has very less conductivity. Hence, they are not used to make wires.
