The correct answer is:
Conductivity depends primarily on three factors: (i) concentration of ions, (ii) Temperature (iii) type of substance.

In our case, temperature is assumed to be same. This leaves the deciding factor as the cations of both substances (since both have chloride ions)

K+ will have higher conductivity than Na+ since the degree of hydration for Na+ is greater which reduces its mobility.

Hence, KCl having higher conductivity.
