I think the answer is aluminium because both graphite and Al are good conductors of electricity but Al is more ductile than graphite.

Aluminium should be used.
Explanation:
- Conductors are defined as those elements which have free ions or electrons in their structure that can transfer electricity with minimal resistance from one part of it to other.
- Graphite is an allotrope of carbon which has free electrons in its structure.
- So its very good conductor.
- Aluminium on the other hand is a metal.
- And metals are usually good conductors of electricity.
- But to make wires, more conditions are needed except conductivity.
- They are malleability, ductility, elasticity, strength etc.
- Aluminium has all these characters but carbon lack them.
- So aluminium should be used as the wire material.
