Solution
The correct option is D ions Acids and bases dissociate into ions in their solution medium and these ions act as charge carriers and help in the conduction of electricity.
The more strong the acid/base, more is the number of dissociated ions and hence the conductance of current also increases.
Bases are soluble alkalis and they also dissociate into ions. Thus, acid, base and alkalis all undergo dissociation into ions and this ions help in the conductance of electricity.
