The given answer is correct.

Explanation:
In liquids, as concentration increases (for example, when a solute is added to a solvent), the interactions between molecules can become more complex, often leading to reduced mobility of molecules. This typically results in a decrease in thermal conductivity, as the ability of the liquid to transfer heat through molecular motion is hindered.

The Right answer is Option B.

With increasing concentration, liquid thermal conductivity also increase.

The increase should be the right answer because if we concentrate the liquids it means it is going form a solid type material or semi-solid type material when we compare conductivity of liquid to semi-solid or solid then solid can have high thermal conductivity than liquid so, the answer is "B".

Increase should be the right answer.

Thermal conductivity basically increased with increase in temperature in case of gas and liquid, and on the other hand in case of solid or metal, it will decrease with increase in temperature.

Please explain the answer.

It may increases only.
