Answer:

NaCl(aq)

Step-by-step explanation:

Nacl(aq) is an electrolyte when it melts and it conducts electricity. This is due to the fact that when it is in solution, it dissociates to be Na+ and Cl-. These ions are conductors of electricity. It conducts electricity because of the movements and also the discharge of ions. CH3OH(aq) is not a conductor of electricity therefore the first option is the answer.
