Solution

The correct option is B Liquid carbon tetrachloride
Nonelectrolytes are compounds that do not ionize at all in solution. As a result, solutions containing nonelectrolytes will not conduct electricity. Typically, nonelectrolytes are primarily held together by covalent rather than ionic bonds. A common example of a nonelectrolyte is glucose. Liquid carbon tetrachloride is also a nonelectrolyte.
