Solution
The correct options are
A wood
B rubber
C water
Materials which conduct electricity or heat nicely are known as good conductors. Others are known as bad conductors. A good conductor usually has charged particles like electrons or ions in them. Copper being a metal has free electrons available for conduction Wood rubber and water are non-metals and do not have free electrons for conduction. Hence they are bad conductors.
