Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
It is known that generally cooking pots are made up of metals because metals are good conductors of heat and electricity. As a result, they help in cooking at a faster rate.
A good conductor means a substance through which heat and electricity can easily pass.
On the other hand, wood is a bad conductor of electricity. Therefore, it does not allow the flow of heat thorough it. As a result, we can easily hold a pan handle with our hand as it does not feel hot.
Thus, we can conclude that wood has low thermal conductivity, and metal has high thermal conductivity, best explains why some cooking pots are made of metal, but their handles are made of wood.
