✅ Correct Answer: (C)
Silver
Explanation: silver is the best conductor of electricity.
When compared to remaining 3 metals, as Silver having more number of free electrons in its valency shell it is the good conductor of electricity.
Conductors Thermal Conductivity @ 25degree C
Silver --- 429
Copper --- 401
Gold --- 310
Aluminium --- 250
