All the answers there are dumbass... The answer they want is D: RESISTANCE.
Actually the opposition to current is "THE CHANGE TO WHICH IT IS DUE"...
In other words, and change to the "flow" of the current will be met by a big charge build up, opposite in direction to the change to which it is due. See Lenzes Laws.
It could be said an insulator is an "opposition" to current flow.. However.. this is also dumbass.. An insulator is not a circuit component.. Including the insulator term is simply stupid.
It's one of the things that really bugs me about science "educators." They feed juniors with mis-truths or false physics because its simpler than explaining the real thing..
I'ts actually simple to explain the real thing.

Someone forgot to tell you about impedance =total opposition to current flow. Resistance is measured in Ohms. Each component has its own Resistance. Every component, together is impedance. Your answer is D.

here's the breakdown.
Resistance is measured in ohms.
conductance is the ability of current to flow through a material.
So there is only one choice left. Insulators oppose the flow of current.

Look it up in your own science textbook. It's called a glossary section.

most likely resistance, though you should have paid attention in class.

resistance make sense... that would be my guess
