Definitely air since most metals are conductors and air is an insulator.

The answer is E. air
Air is a poor conductor of heat. This can be determined through a property called thermal conductivity and has a unit of W/m.K. It is described as a quantity of heat through a unit thickness of material per temperature. The higher the thermal conductivity of a material, the more it is able to conduct heat. Most gases are poor conductors of heat.
