Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

A material through which energy can travel in the form of heat without any movement of material itself is known as a thermal conductor.

It is known that metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. Hence, they act as good thermal conductors.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options metal would be the best thermal conductor.
