Solution

The correct option is B more
The electrical conductivity of a solution of acetic acid will be more if a solution of NaOH is added.
Acetic acid is a weak acid. It dissociates to a little extent. Whereas sodium acetate is a strong electrolyte and completely dissociates. $C H_{3} C O O H + N a O H \to C H_{3} C O O N a + H_{2} O$
$C H_{3} C O O N a + H_{2} O \to C H_{3} C O O H + N a^{+} + O H^{-}$
