Is my answer correct?

question

Scott was watching the electrician install a new light fixture. Scott noticed that when he was finished, he carefully wrapped some wires with plastic caps and black plastic tape. Select the best explanation of why the electrician would wrap electrical wires with plastic products.


answer I chose

The electrical wires are made of metal, which conducts electricity. In order to make the wiring safe, he would wrap the exposed wire with plastic materials, which are good insulators. This keeps the flow of electricity contained to the light fixture and wiring.

Answer 1

theoretically yes. but any other answer? 

Answer 2

Yes, the answer is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Plastic is a good insulator of electricity and it prevents electric current from flowing into any living being that may come into contact with that wiring. Hence, the plastic tape and caps prevent any such contact with the live wiring making the entire system safe to be around.
