Know the Answer?

Dale · Answer 1

the answer is (A) it allows currents to flow

Devyn Garza · Answer 2

Option A is correct.

Explanation:

Metals are good conductor of electricity. It has free electrons on their surface. According to Electron Pool Theory, each atom present in a metal crystal losses all of its valence electron and as a result a pool of free is form.

These pool of electrons are free to move and conduct electricity easily while making metal as good conductor.
