Conductors of electricity:

  1. Materials with high electron mobility are known as conductors, while materials with low electron mobility are known as insulators.
  2. Electrical conductors are materials that allow electricity to pass easily through them.
  3. When two types of materials are compared, the first one allows more electricity to flow through it, and that material is said to be a good conductor of electricity.
  4. An electrical conductor allows the electric charges to easily flow through them. The ability of conductors to conduct electricity is referred to as conductivity.
  5. Vegetable oil cannot conduct electricity because it lacks ions.

Hence, Option(D) is correct.
