    A) it produces a relatively small fraction of the maximum number of possible hydronium ions.

    Explanation:

    A weak acid is one that ionizes slightly in aqueous solutions. They set up an equilibrium in the process. Weak acids like hydrocyanic acid only gives a very small fraction of the possible hydronium ions they ought to give in solution. They are not capable of ionizing completely like the strong acids. This makes hydrocyanic acid a weak electrolyte.
