For the question, the correct answer is "Nonmetals do not conduct electricity." This is a characteristic of nonmetals. Non-metals do not reflect light. Therefore, they are poor conductors of heat and electricity. Thank you for posting your question. I hope that this answer helped you. Let me know if you need more help.

Answer:

Nonmetals do not conduct electricity.

Explanation:

Most non metals do not conduct electricity because the majority of non metals do not have delocalised electrons, which is normally the case in metals and graphite or mobile ions, which is normally the case in soluble ionic substances, that can carry a charge around a circuit.
