The Answer is Low melting point. This is because a fuse is designed to serve d function of current breaking. wen a current of high voltage passes throug it, d fuse quickly melts inorder to prevent d current which can damage a named appliance from blowing. So, d answer is option D.

The correct answer is: E. Low melting point

Explanation:
A fuse wire is designed to melt and break the circuit when excessive current flows, preventing damage to electrical appliances or fire hazards. Therefore, it must:

Melt quickly when the current exceeds safe limits.

This means it should have a low melting point, so it melts easily under excess heat caused by high current.

Let's check the other options:

A. High expansively – Not relevant for fuse operation.

B. High thermal conductivity – Would dissipate heat instead of melting quickly. Not ideal.

C. Low density – Irrelevant for fuse function.

D. Low electrical resistivity – Opposite of what is needed. A slightly higher resistivity helps generate heat.

So the desirable property is:

👉 E. Low melting point.
