Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step 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
Na^(+) and
Cl^(-) 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.
