Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

A solution that contains ions is able to conduct electricity because ionic solutions are capable of conducting electricity as there are ions which can move from one place to another.

Thus, all the options show formation of ions except the equation
CH_(3)OH(l) \rightarrow CH_(3)OH(aq).

Hence, the equation
CH_(3)OH(l) \rightarrow CH_(3)OH(aq) represents a solution that does not conduct electricity.
