Among the given options, the best conductor of electricity is NaCl(s), as it dissociates into Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions when dissolved in water, allowing for effective conductivity. Other substances either do not dissociate into ions or are conducted only under specific conditions. Thus, the chosen option is e. NaCl(s).
