Solution

Answer: (a) Very low value of electrical conductivity in the molten state

The ionic solids easily dissociated into its ions in the molten state and show high electrical conductivity. So, statement (a) is incorrect while ionic solids are anisotropic and brittle liked with a very strong force of interactions.
