Solution

The correct option is C
Dilute hydrochloric acid conducts electricity

Pure water that is completely free of all salts is a bad conductor of electricity. Distilled water is an example. To make it conducting, it should have ions to carry charges. Substances like salts, acids and bases when dissolved in water dissociate to form ions. So, they conduct electricity.
