Solution

The correct option is A

liquid A is a better conductor than liquid B.


  1. The conductivity of a solution determines the amount of current flowing through it.
  2. As the conductivity increases, the amount of current passing through the solution increases.
  3. As the conductivity decreases, the amount of current passing through the solution decreases.
  4. As a result, liquid A has a higher conductivity than liquid B.

Hence, Option(A) is correct.
