The right response is to provide no resistance to the passage of electricity.

Superconductors are materials that have no resistance at extremely low temperatures. As a result, electricity flows quickly through them.

eg- Mercury below 4.2 K, Lead below 7.25 K  acts like superconductors. ( K= kelvin)

Current travels in the opposite direction that free electrons from a material flow. This is referred to as current electricity.

A material may be classified into four kinds depending on its electrical conductivity, or the amount of free electrons present on its surface:

Insulators are compounds that prevent current from flowing through them.

They are devoid of free electrons.

Cotton, wood, glass, and so on.

Conductors: These are the substances that allow current to pass through them. They contain an abundance of free electrons.

Copper, silver, iron, aluminum, and so on.

Superconductors: At extremely low temperatures, this material has no resistance. As a result, electricity flows quickly through them.

eg- Mercury below 4.2 K, Lead below 7.25 K act like superconductors. (K=kelvin)

Semiconductors are substances with electrical resistivities that fall between those of conductors and insulators. silicon and germanium, for example.
