Solution

The correct option is B, False.

Salts dissolved in water dissociate into ions, these charged particles are responsible for the conduction of electricity through salt solution.

The human body is composed largely of water and dissolved salts. So, the human body is an electric conductor. Therefore, we need to be careful while handling the electrical appliances, as we may get an electric shock.
