Correct Answer: Saltwater


Solution : The correct answer is Saltwater.

Saltwater conducts electricity more effectively than pure or "normal" water. When salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) is dissolved in water, ions are dissolved in the solution, especially sodium (Na+) and, chloride (Cl-) ions. As a result, the solution has a higher conductivity.
