Among the given choices, water is the poorest thermal conductor. We all know that it takes a lot of time to boil water since the boiling point of water is 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit. Thus, unlike any other materials, water cannot conduct heat easily, whereas we all know what will happen if we put water in the fire. Instead of heating up, the fire is completely extinguished.
Final answer:
B. Water
