Detailed Solution

Concept- Connection wires can be made of any material that conducts electricity. Along with the conductivity, many other properties play a major role as well and those are current conducting capacities, material properties, etc.
Copper is the most common material for making connection wires whether it is household wire or electrical and electronic connection wire. We know that copper has low electrical resistance which makes its resistivity low as well.
Copper is the preferred material for making wires because of its low resistivity.
If resistivity is low, the conductivity is high because both are inversely related to each other.
Hence, the correct answer. is option 1.
