Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Ions and minerals conduct electricity in a liquid. Distilled water is deionized, meaning the mineral particles and ions are removed. So, distilled water is not a good conductor of electricity. This makes it a bad conductor of electricity. For water to conduct, it must contain free ions or minerals in it. Since distilled water no longer contains ions, adding common salt and mixing it will make it conduct.
