Solution
Our body is a conductor of electricity.
Explanation:
The human body is a good conductor of electricity because it contains a high percentage of water and water is a good conductor due to the presence of dissolved salts and minerals. When exposed to electric current, the body can conduct electricity, which can be dangerous, especially if the current passes through vital organs like the heart.
