An engineer is designing a component of a product. The component is responsible of carrying the electric current from one part of the product to another, which material would be suitable choice for the component.

Copper would be a suitable choice for the component as it is an excellent conductor of electricity. Copper is commonly used in electrical components due to its high conductivity and ability to efficiently carry electric current. Additionally, copper is also relatively inexpensive, readily available, and has good resistance to corrosion.
