Solution

The correct option is B

Dissolved salts


The dissolved salts in water enable current to flow through water. Its temperature, density or solvency are irrelevant where conductivity is concerned. Due to the absence of ions and dissolved salts, pure distilled water tends to be a poor conductor of electricity.
