As we have learnt,

Test of Magnesium ion -

Mg^{2+} +NH_4OH + HPO^{2-}_4 + 5H_2O\rightarrow Mg(NH_4)PO_4.6H_2O

                                                                                                (White precipitate)

This white precipitate indicates the presence of Mg^{2+}

Hence, the correct answer is Option (2)
