Solution

The correct option is D Urea
As Cryolite, Sylvine ( $K C l$ ) and Rock salt have ions in the free state (free ions), they conduct electricity in the molten state.

But in urea $(N H_{2} C O N H_{2})$ there are no free ions to conduct electricity. So, urea is not an electrolyte in the molten state.

Hence, option C is correct.
