Solution

The correct option is C

Explanation of the correct option:

(C) Well water

  • The well water is impure water.
  • Impure water contains minerals such as sodium, calcium, magnesium, etc.
  • These minerals contain charged ions.
  • Because of the presence of these charged ions, the well water can conduct electricity.

Explanation of incorrect option:

(A) Distilled water

  • Distilled water is pure water.
  • It does not contain any ions, so distilled water can not conduct electricity.
  • It is a good insulator.

(B) Portable water

  • They do not have any impurities.
  • So portable water has low conductivity to electricity.

Hence, option (C) is correct., The well water will conduct electricity.
