For a solution to conduct electricity, **it needs to have a substance that separates into ions**. Ions are charged particles that can move freely in solution, allowing for the conduction of electric current.

The other choices, such as requiring a covalent substance, containing chloride, or needing to produce a chemical reaction, are not necessary conditions for electrical conductivity.
