Identify the conductor having the highest resistivity.
Question

Identify the conductor having the highest resistivity.

A.

Copper

B.

Silver

C.

Aluminium

D.

Mercury

Correct option is D

Mercury has the highest resistivity among the given options. 
Resistivity: A material's resistivity is a measure of how much it resists the flow of electric current. It is represented by the Greek letter ρ. The SI unit of resistivity is the ohm-meter (Ω⋅m). 

Conductors: Materials that conduct electricity easily have a low resistivity. 
Insulators: Materials that do not conduct electricity easily have a high resistivity. 
Alloys: Alloys generally have higher resistivity than individual metals. For example, Nichrome, an alloy of nickel, chromium, iron, and manganese, has a higher resistivity than copper, silver, and aluminum.
