A dilute solution of NaOH. This compound will separate into Na+ and OH- in solution, making a great electrolyte. I'm not sure how or if the HC2H3O2 will break down, but it is an organic compound and they generally don't make good electrolytes.

Sodium hydroxide - as a strong base it disassociates completely in water. All of those ions will be conducting electricy
You've given a funny formula for vinegar, but vinegar is a weak acid it only partiailly disassociates in water. The vinegar that does not disassociate will not be conducting electricty.
