The assertion is false. Diamond is actually an excellent insulator and does not conduct electricity well. The reason provided for the assertion is also false. Diamond does not have a high density of free electrons, as it is a covalently bonded substance and does not have free electrons available for conduction. Hence option 4 is the correct answer.
