    A Equal to that of light Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Less than that of light Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Greater than that of light Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Equal to that of sound Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Electrons are generally responsible for heat conduction. The phonons (vibrations of the nuclei) also play a part, dependingonthetemperature of the medium. It depends on the specific conductor you're using. At some point, in a vacuum, the electrons have to be excited enough to spit out photons, which are Electromagnetic radiation, which in a vacuum should go on forever at the speed of light theoretically.
