Solution

The correct option is A
Electrolytic conductors

An electrolytic conductor is a melted or dissolved compound that has broken apart into ions (anions and cations). Applying an electric field across an electrolyte causes the anions and cations to move in opposite directions, thereby conducting electrical current while gradually separating the ions.
Example: Sodium hydroxide, Calcium hydroxide
