Solution

The correct option is B
Sulphuric acid

The electrolyte which allows a large amount of electricity to flow through them is called strong electrolyte. These electrolytes are good conductors of electricity. These electrolytes are almost or completely dissociated in the fused or aqueous solution state.

So, sulphuric acid is a strong electrolyte. Acetic acid, carbonic acid and oxalic acid are weak electrolytes as these acids are partially dissociated in the fused or aqueous solution state.
