The answer is (3) electrical conductivity of KCl(aq). The definition of electrolyte is that the substance that will ionize when dissolving in suitable ionizing solvent like water.

Answer: (3) electrical conductivity of KCl (aq)

Explanation: pH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity.

Conductance is the ability of a substance to be able to conduct electric current through it. Electrolyte is a solution which enables electric current to pass through them due to the presence of ions.

Ionic compounds do not conduct electricity in solid state as the ions are strongly held by strong coloumbic forces but in aqueous solutions they dissociate into ions and thus act as good conductors.
