Solution

The correct option is B Sulphuric acid
The answer is Sulphuric acid.
Being strong acid it completely dissociates in water to produce a high concentration of H+ ions. This complete dissociation allows more hydrogen ions to act as mobile charge carriers, to move towards the positive plate/terminal, to close the circuit and enable electric flow; thereby producing strong electrical conductivity.
