Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conductivity of a solution depends number of ions present in the solution. As these ions move from one place to another and thus there will be easily flow of current.

So, when there is increase in concentration then it means there are moer number of ions present into the solution.

Thus, conductivity will also increase due to increase in concentration of salt solution.

As the concentration of a given salt solution increases, the conductivity of the solution increases as well. The ions in the salt conducts electricity thus are called electrolytes. I hope this answer helps.
