And also the air outside the paper is a poor conductor of heat. That s why the hear accumulates in the paper couldn’t be dissipated fast enough to keep the temperature lower than the ignition point.

The heat from the candle flame is transferred to the paper through the metal. Metal is a good conductor, while paper is a poor conductor, so heat accumulates in the paper, ultimately causing the paper to catch fire.
So, the correct answer should include both:
- Metal is a good conductor.
- Paper is a poor conductor.
Either option alone is incomplete.
This exam question seems to be flawed.
