    D. It has a low resistance and allows charges to move freely.

    Explanation:

    The high conductivity of copper allow charges to move freely without the need of too much force. The conductivity decreases with increase in resistance. Low resistance also means less heating of the conductors. This property of copper makes it ideal for use in the manufacture of electric cables and conductors for various gadgets.
