D Glass
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Glass is an insulator because its electrons are tightly bound and not free to move. Aluminum and silver are metals with delocalized electrons, while graphite (a form of carbon) has delocalized electrons allowing conductivity.

Hint

Think about materials that lack free-moving electrons.
