Answer:

A) CaF 2 (Calcium Fluoride)

C KBr (Potassium Bromide)

D) Mgl 2 (Magnesium Iodide)

Step-by-step explanation:

All the above are electrolytes, because of their ability to dissociate/ionize when dissolved. Strong electrolytes completely ionize when dissolved, and not neutral molecules are able to form in the solution. Electrolytes are substances that conduct electric currents as a result of a dissociation into positively and negatively charged particles called ions, which migrate toward and ordinarily are discharged at the negative and positive terminals (cathode and anode) of an electric circuit, respectively.
