Solution

The correct option is B $1.00 M H C l$
Since the given concentrations of all compounds is same, $H C l$ will be the best conductor of an electric current because its the strongest acid and hence, will give the highest number of $H^{+}$ ions responsible for conduction of current.

Option A is correct.
