I believe the correct response would be A. The ions once dissolved in the solution are free to move

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When ionic compounds are dissolved in water then it dissociates into positive and negative ions.

These ions are free to move from one place to another. Hence, they can easily conduct electricity.

Thus, we can conclude that ionic compounds can conduct electricity when dissolved in water or melted, because the ions are free to move.
