The correct answer is sulfur.

The metals are good conductor of electricity and non metals are bad conductor of electricity. Metals have free electrons present in it which helps in the conduction of electricity.

Non metals does not have free electrons for the conduction of electricity, so sulfur would not be able to conduct electricity.
