(N/A) The direction of conventional current is defined as the direction in which positive charges would move. Since electrons are negatively charged,they flow in the direction opposite to the conventional current. Therefore,the direction of conventional current is opposite to the direction of flow of electrons.

Sonika is working with the circuit shown in the figure. There are two open terminals in the circuit: $X$ and $Y$. She has wires made of five different materials: $I, II, III, IV,$ and $V$. She knows that the electric bulb will glow only when wires made of conducting materials are connected across both open terminals. She records her observations in a table. After the experiment,ink spills on the paper,and she loses the information for the third row.
$S.No.$Material at $X$Material at $Y$Electric Bulb ($ON$/$OFF$)
$1$$I$$II$$OFF$
$2$$I$$IV$$ON$
$3$--$OFF$
$4$$III$$V$$ON$

Based on the remaining information in the table,which materials could be in the third row?
