• B. Wood
• C. Iron
• D. Plastic

Answer 1

Answer: (B), (D)

The correct options are
B Wood
D Plastic

A frying pan is made of metal. When food is cooked in the frying pan, the whole pan gets heated as metals are good conductors of heat. To hold the hot pan, the handle should be made of materials which are bad conductors of heat to prevent one's hands from burning.

Among the given options, wood and plastic are bad conductors of heat. Copper and iron are metals which are good conductors of heat. So, the handle of a frying pan should be made from wood or plastic.
