Detailed Solution

Strategy: The relationship for strong electrolytes is linear (Λm=Λm0AC\Lambda_m = \Lambda_m^0 - A\sqrt{C}), while for weak electrolytes it is non-linear and steep at low concentrations.

Graph Comparison:

  • A correct graph must show a linear line with a negative slope for strong electrolytes (e.g., \ceKCl\ce{KCl}).
  • It must also show a curved, steep upward trend near the y-axis for weak electrolytes (e.g., \ceCH3COOH\ce{CH3COOH}).
  • Option (a) typically displays these two trends simultaneously and accurately.
