$(a)$ Aqueous solution of an acid conducts electricity.
(N/A) When an acid is dissolved in water,it dissociates to produce $H^{+}$ ions (hydrogen ions).
These $H^{+}$ ions act as charge carriers in the solution.
Since the movement of ions is responsible for the flow of electric current,the aqueous solution of an acid conducts electricity.
