Solution

The correct option is A increases
Acetic acid is a weak acid, so it dissociates less in solution, while $N a O H$ is a strong electrolyte. So, in the presence of $N a O H$ , neutralization reaction takes place and formation of $C H_{3} C O O N a$ takes place,which is a strong electrolyte which the conductivity.
