In which file manager root privilege is available in KUbuntu 18.04.1 LTS?
I'm using KUbuntu 18.04.1 LTS and there's no root privilege option is available in Dolphin.
So which file manager has root privilege option?
Or if I can have it in Dolphin.

I added mention of Thunar and PCManFM. Both are nice lightweight file managers which you can run as root.

Install Krusader using sudo apt install krusader. It's a "Twin-Panel File Manager by KDE" and it's in the repos.
As far as Dolphin regaining the root feature, you'll probably have to wait until Kubuntu 20.04 if you want an LTS version of Kubuntu.
Two simpler graphical file managers with relatively few dependencies are Thunar and PCManFM. You can check out what additional dependencies they will install on your system with apt install -s thunar or apt install -s pcmanfm. The -s means you're only running a simulation: that's why there's no need for sudo. (Even though a qt version of PCManFM is available, I'd avoid that because it brings in far more dependencies.)
Once you've installed either of them, open a terminal and run sudo -H thunar or sudo -H pcmanfm to open them in root mode.
Thunar has a nice cautionary banner whereas PCManFM has a relatively unobtrusive !, which I've marked with a red outline, as a caution:
Thunar as root
PCManFM as root
