Solution

The correct option is C KCl
The cell constant is a factor that is used to convert the measured conductance to conductivity.

Conductivity× (S•cm1) = cell constant (cm1) x conductance (S)

It is determined by the geometry of the cell, but in practical terms can only be measured using a standard of known conductivity, for example KCl which is strong electrolyte.

Hence, option C is correct.
