Answer:

C) It contains a ionic compound that conducts electricity in solution.

Explanation:

It contains a ionic compound that conducts electricity in solution.. The glowing bulb indicates that a electrical current is allowed to pass through the solution, and ionic compounds dissociate in water and conduct electricity. Covalent compounds do not do this.
