The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Properties of Materials:** - Materials can be classified based on their ability to conduct electricity. The two main categories are conductors and insulators. - Conductors allow electricity to flow through them easily, while insulators do not. 2. **Identifying Plastic Wire:** - Plastic is a type of polymer that is commonly used as insulation for electrical wires. - It is known for its low electrical conductivity. 3. **Determining the Conductivity of Plastic:** - Since plastic does not allow electricity to flow through it easily, it is classified as an insulator. - This means that plastic wire does not conduct electricity effectively. 4. **Conclusion:** - Based on the properties of plastic, we can conclude that plastic wire is an insulator. 5. **Final Answer:** - Therefore, the correct option is: **Plastic wire is an insulator.** ---
