In an aqueous solution how does specific conductivity of electrolytes change with addition of water?

Options

  1. ASpecific conductivity decreases because the number of ions per unit volume decreases.
  2. BSpecific conductivity increases with the addition of water.
  3. CSpecific conductivity remains constant with the addition of water.
