• C. They are costly

Answer 1

The correct option is B They are bad conductors of heat

Asbestos sheets are used to lay the roofs of some houses because, asbestos is a bad conductor of heat. The asbestos sheets reflect or absorb the heat from the sun and do not allow it to reach the house, hence keeping the inside of the house cool even in summer.
