Solution
The correct option is A Liquid carbon tetrachloride
To conduct electricity the presence of free electrons is necessary.
In carbon tetrachloride, carbon has four electrons in its valence shell, shares each with four chlorine atom and thus the bond is formed by sharing which are covalent bonds.
Hence, due to the absence of ions makes CCl4 to not conduct electricity.
