Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
A bond where transfer of electrons take place from one atom to another is known as an ionic bond.
An ionic solution is defined as a solution in which an ionic compound is dissociated into ions.
For example, NaCl is an ionic compound and when it is dissolved in water it dissociates as [tex]Na^{+}[/tex] and [tex]Cl^{-}[/tex] ions.
As it is known that electric current is the flow of charges. Hence, a solution that contains ions will be a good conductor of electricity.
Whereas in general, a covalent solution does not contain any ions.
Thus, we can conclude that ionic solutions are good conductors of electricity.
