Solution

The correct option is A remains constant for a cell
The cell constant, K, is equal to the distance in cm between the probe's electrodes divided by the surface area of the electrodes in $c m^{2}$ .

For solutions with low conductivities, the electrodes can be placed closer together or made larger so that the cell constant is less than one.

For a particular conductivity cell, the cell constant remains the same even if-

The electrolyte is changed.
The concentration of the electrolyte is changed.
The temperature of electrolyte is changed.

Hence, option B is correct.
