possession!

Hi everyone! Could you help me to pick the right answer. Thanks in advance.
Copper is the favored metal for electricians' wire because of.....

a/ its excellent conductivity.

b/ excellent conductivity of it.

For (b) to work at all you would need the excellent conductivity of it, and, as Barbara says, it still wouldn't sound right.
