Solution

The correct option is D lead
Copper, silver and aluminium are all good conductor of heat when compared to lead. Hence the other metals are used in various applications such as cooking utensils, etc., but lead is never used as a choice of material for manufacture of cooking vessels. A reason for this is also the toxic nature of lead.
