Solution

The correct option is D Silver
Silver and copper are good conductors of electricity and allow electricity to pass through them easily. So, we can use silver strip instead of copper strip in a circuit. However, plastic and wood are poor conductors of electricity and do not allow electric current to pass through them easily. Hence, they cannot be used to replace copper.
