Detailed Solution

Rubber is an insulator that has the highest resistivity.

We know that R = ϱ × LA; where R is the resistance, ϱ represents the resistivity of conductor while 'L' and 'A' are length and area of cross section of the conductor or wire. 

ϱ is inversely proportional to the conductivity. Rubber has the lowest conductivity hence it has the highest resistivity.
