Solution

The correct option is A AgNO3 solution
Electrolyte is a substance that dissociates into ions in a solution and acquires the capacity to conduct electricity. Electrolysis is the dissociation of an electrolyte into ions at the electrodes by the passage of electric current.
During the electrolysis of silver nitrate solution, silver gets deposited at the cathode, while the anode loses an equal amount of Ag. Hence, AgNO3 is an electrolyte.
