Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Non-electrolytes are the substances which do not dissociate into a solution or water to form ions.

Since, non-electrolytes do not dissociate into ions. Hence, they do conduct electricity.

Thus, we can conclude that it does not dissociate or ionize in water is a characteristic of a non-electrolyte.

Non-electrolytes are neither partially ionizable nor do they conduct electricity poorly. Therefore, out of the given options, only option (A) is the correct answer.
