Sagot :

Answer:

b. copper is used because it is ductile and a good conductor of electricity

Answer: (B)

Explanation: To get an electrical current to flow through metals, the power source has to fight against resistivity. The lower the level of resistivity, the more electrical conductivity a metal has. And since copper wire has a low level of resistivity, it's a fantastic electrical conductor.
