Conduit fill is about how much space inside a conduit is taken up by the wires. It’s expressed as a percentage of the conduit’s interior cross-sectional area that the conductors occupy. This matters because you can’t jam all the wires in—there needs to be room to pull cables through and for heat to escape, and codes limit how much fill is allowed. To determine it, you add up the cross-sectional area of all conductors inside the conduit (including insulation) and compare that total to the conduit’s inner area to get the fill percentage. The other options describe wire properties or how you connect them, not how much space is inside the conduit.
