The assertion is true that graphite is considered a good conductor of electricity. This is because it has a 2D layered structure with delocalized electrons between the layers. The reason provided for the assertion is also true, and it is the correct explanation for why graphite is a good conductor of electricity. The delocalized electrons can move freely between the layers, allowing for an easy flow of electricity.  Hence option 1 is the correct answer.
