Solution

The correct option is B
False

No, $C C l_{4}$ is not an electrolye. An electrolye is a material that causes ions to form in the solvent. Carbon tetrachloride neither dissociates into ions nor induces ion formation in the solvent and also $C - C l$ bond is very strong and won't break under normal conditions. Nor does the molecule have any net dipole moment.
