Know the Answer?

Cora Stark · Answer 1

Because gold is a metal and a decent conductor, B is correct. It could easily bring the energy from place to place.

Aubrey Carrillo · Answer 2

I'm in an engineering middle school so we learned this a long time ago. The answer is B. Because gold is a conductor of electricity (though it is not the strongest), it would allow electricity to flow through the circuit.
