Solution

The correct option is A

A plastic tube


Metals are generally good conductors of electricity. So, in the list, silver and copper conduct electricity easily as they are good conductors of electricity. Now, the wet slippers also conduct electricity because of the conductive water layer over the slippers, so when you wear them there are chances of getting an electric shock. The plastic material acts as a perfect insulator and helps in protecting humans from an electric shock.
