Answer:

Im pretty sure this question is multiple choice so its High Resistance and Low conductivity. If its not then choose high resistance.

Answer:

(A) High resistance

Step-by-step explanation:

Insulators are those materials in which there will no current passes through it.

From ohm's law we know that
i=(V)/(R) from this relation it is clear that the current is inversely proportional to the resistance. It means for minimum current resistance should be very high

So in insulator we need very high resistance because we need very less or no current through insulator

So option (a) will be the correct option
