Answer:

The options are unclear, however, the correct option is:

Aqueous solutions of ionic compounds cause to dissociate, hence, ions are free to conduct electricity

Step-by-step explanation:

Ionic compounds are compounds formed from ions (charged atoms). For example, NaCl is an ionic compound from the following ions; Na+ (cation) and Cl- (anion). One characteristics of ionic compounds is their ability to dissociate into the ions that form them when in an aqueous solution i.e. NaCl will dissociate into Na+ and Cl- when in an aqueous solution.

These disssociated ions are free to conduct electricity, hence, making ionic compounds good conductors of electricity.
