Solution

The correct option is D All of the above.
The purpose of an electrolyte is to provide a conducting medium for the current to flow between the two electrodes in the electrolysis process. Tamarind juice is acidic and hence, can be used in place of sulphuric acid as the electrolyte. Also, tap water and salt water are good conductors of electricity.
