Solution

The correct option is A water
In order to conduct electricity the charged particles must be mobile rather than stationary in a crystal lattice. When they dissolve in water they can conduct electricity as the ions become mobile. The solubility is highest in polar solvents such as water but tends to be low in non polar solvents because of the resulting ion-dipole interactions.
