CuSO4.
Reason: CuSO4 is an ionic salt that dissociates in water into Cu2+ and SO4^2− ions, which carry charge and allow electrical conduction. The others are molecular (covalent) substances: CH4 and C6H6 are nonpolar and do not dissolve to give ions, and C6H12O6 (glucose) dissolves but remains neutral molecules, so none of those conduct electricity.
