Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) (B), (A), (D), (E), (C)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(B), (A), (D), (E), (C) Silver (B): The best conductor; has the lowest resistivity \(\left(\approx 1.59 \times 10^{-8} \Omega m\right)\). Copper (A): An excellent conductor, slightly more resistive than silver \(\left(\approx 1.68 \times 10^{-8}\right.\Omega m\)) Carbon/Graphite…
