Solution

The correct option is C Steel bar
Substances that allow electricity to pass through them are called conductors, and they are harmful when used to hold electric wires, as they may result in a fatal shock. Steel is a good conductor of electricity, and hence should not be used in handling electric appliances. On the other hand, wood, plastic, and rubber are not conductors and hence, are safe while dealing with electricity.
