Expert Solution

Answer : a) Sugar in water

Explanation :

For a solution to conduct electricity, it requires that the solution should have movable ions with opposite charge tendency.

A solution of sugar in water does not conduct electricity because the sugar molecules do not dissociate to form ions.

Whereas the salts in the other options dissociate to form ions and helps to conduct electricity.

a) Sugar in water
