All of the above are correct.

Weak acids do not completely dissociate in water and therefore it lacks mobile particles to carry a charge. So it cannot conduct electricity in water.

It is not as strong or concentrated as a strong acid because there are less moles per litre.

A weak acid will not completely dissociate in water due to strong intramolecular forces
