A
It conducts electricity when in solid form.
B
It conducts electricity when in molten form.
C
It conducts electricity when it is dissolved in water.
D
It does not conduct electricity in any form.

Explanation

Covalent substances are made of atoms sharing electrons, and they typically do not have freely moving charged particles to carry an electric current. Therefore, they usually do not conduct electricity as solids, liquids, or when dissolved in water. The correct choice is “It does not conduct electricity in any form.”
