Solution

The correct option is C Vegetable oil
Lemon juice and vinegar are acidic in nature. Hence, they conduct electricity. Also, sea water contains salt and minerals which help in conducting the electricity. On the other hand, vegetable oil is a poor conductor of electricity. Oils conduct electricity minimally under normal conditions, which makes them useful as insulators.
