Answer

The answer is C) superconductor.<br /><br />A **superconductor** is a material that exhibits zero electrical resistance when cooled below a critical temperature. This means electrons can flow through it without any loss of energy.<br /><br />Here's why the other options are incorrect:<br /><br />* **A) Conductor:** Conductors allow electrons to flow relatively easily, but they still have some resistance, leading to energy loss as heat.<br />* **B) Insulator:** Insulators resist the flow of electrons.<br />* **D) Non-ohmic conductor:** Non-ohmic conductors don't follow Ohm's law (a linear relationship between voltage and current), but they still have resistance.<br />
