The correct answer is option C. insulator.

An insulator material has a high resistivity and prevents the movement of electrons. It is a hindrance in the path of electrons & resists the current flow.

The conductor conducts electrons as it offers very less resistance. A battery provides voltage to the circuit.

Hence, option (c) is correct.
