Solution

The correct option is A
Sugar

Sugar will not undergo decomposition on passing electricity through aqueous solution because there are no ions in the solution. Whereas when we see sodium chloride, sodium bromide and sodium acetate all can conduct electricity in their aqueous state as they are able to release ions and the ions are free to move around, thus making them free to conduct electricity.
