Answer: The solution is most likely made up of a covalent substance.
Reason: The bulb not lighting means little or no electric current flows — i.e., there are no mobile ions to carry charge. Covalent (molecular) solutes typically do not produce ions in solution. (Caveat: very pure water or a very dilute/weak electrolyte could also give a very faint or no glow, and an ionic solid that hasn’t dissolved won’t conduct either.)
