Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The velocity of AC (alternating current) through a conductor is less than the speed of light. This is because the propagation of electrical signals in a conductor is subject to the material's resistance, inductance, and capacitance, which slow down the signal compared to the speed of light in a vacuum.
