Why is copper wire a better conductor of electricity than carbon fiber?(1 point)

Copper (Cu) has no loose electrons.
Copper (Cu) is a metal, and only metals can conduct electricity.
The electrons in copper (Cu) are loosely bound to the nucleus.
Carbon (C) does not have any valence electrons.

The electrons in copper (Cu) are loosely bound to the nucleus, allowing them to move freely and carry the electric current. On the other hand, carbon fiber does not have free electrons and therefore cannot conduct electricity as effectively as copper wire.
