Scientific law always describes that what can happen in a certain condition. Therefore, the statement 'metals can conduct electricity because they have free electrons' is a scientific law as it explain the general defintion of metals. Whereas the first statetemnt is only for copper but not in general.

Thus, option (b) is correct.
