A solution conducts an electric current more easily when the solution contains more ions. An acidic solution conducts an electric current very easily. What type of acid is in this solution?

a weak acid because it dissociates completely
a strong acid because it dissociates completely
a weak acid because it dissociates partially
a strong acid because it dissociates partially

A strong Acid would dissociate completely into its various ions, for instance, HCl + H2O ——> H3O+ + Cl-

A weak acid does not completely dissociate. It instead finds an equilibrium between its reactants and products. For a weak acid we would use 2 yield arrows pointing in the opposite direction.

So, if you wanted to get the most ions in solution, you would use a strong Acid, since it completely dissociates.
