Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Since distilled water is deionized water, it does not have dissolved ions to conduct electricity.
Electricity is the movement of charged particles; since distilled water is not a charged particle, it does not conduct electricity into them. It is mostly used in batteries to rehydrate them. Distilled water is a pure form of water which does not have any dissolved ions or salts in them. Hence they are called a poor conductor of electricity.
