Smallest Resistivity of Materials

On the basis of electrical conductivity, which one of the following material has the smallest resistivity?
Glass
Silicon
Germanium
Silver

Solution:

Silver is a metal which has very high electrical conductivity and hence possesses the smallest resistivity compared to semiconductors (Silicon, Germanium) and insulators (Glass).
