Solution

The correct option is B

Insulators> Semiconductors>Conductors


Resistance is nothing but obstruction to the electron flow and conductance is ease of electron flow. So both are inversely proportional. If Resistance increases conductance decreases and if Resistance decreases conductance increases.

We already know the order of electrical conductance in materials which is

Conductors>Semiconductors>Insulators

So exact opposite order is for the resistance Insulators>Semiconductors>Conductors
