The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the options contains insulators, we need to analyze each option based on the properties of the materials listed. Insulators are materials that do not conduct electricity well. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Analyze Option A: Brass, Gold, and Steel** - Brass, gold, and steel are all metals. - Metals are generally good conductors of electricity. - **Conclusion**: This option does not contain insulators. 2. **Analyze Option B: Tap Water, Human Body, and Silver** - Silver is a metal and is a good conductor of electricity. - The human body contains water and electrolytes, which allow it to conduct electricity. - Tap water typically contains minerals and impurities, making it a conductor as well. - **Conclusion**: This option does not contain insulators. 3. **Analyze Option C: Moist Air and Human Body** - The human body, as mentioned, conducts electricity due to water and electrolytes. - Moist air contains water vapor, which can conduct electricity. - **Conclusion**: This option does not contain insulators. 4. **Analyze Option D: Pure Water, Air, and Mica** - Pure water is a poor conductor of electricity (a bad conductor). - Air is also a poor conductor of electricity under normal conditions. - Mica is a well-known insulator used in electrical applications. - **Conclusion**: This option contains insulators. ### Final Answer: - The correct option that contains insulators is **Option D: Pure Water, Air, and Mica**.
