The correct answer is :

A) Wire nut

B & D are all made of metal (conductors),

which make very good splices. However,

the question is asking for the most widely used INSULATOR.

B) Solder (is a metal alloy made of tin and lead)

C) Friction Tape (an excellent insulator, but has been replaced by PVC electrical tape over time).

D) A split bolt (generally made of copper)

Good luck in your studies,
