\begin{array}{l}{\text { It is a basic buffer. }} \\ {\begin{array}{l}{\mathrm{pH}=8.65, \mathrm{pOH}=14-8.65=5.35} \\ {\mathrm{pOH}=\mathrm{pK}_{b}+\log \frac{\left[\mathrm{NH}_{4}\right]}{\left[\mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{OH}\right]}} \\\\ {5.35=4.75+\log \frac{\left[\mathrm{NH}_{4}\right]}{\left[\mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{OH}\right]}} \\\\ {\therefore \frac{\left[\mathrm{NH}_{4}\right]}{\left[\mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{OH}\right]}=\operatorname{antilog}(5.35-4.75)} \\\\ {\therefore \frac{\left[\mathrm{NH}_{4}\right]}{\left[\mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{OH}\right]}=\frac{30 \times 0.2}{0.3 \times V} \approx 4.0}\end{array}} \\ {\therefore V=5 \mathrm{mL}}\end{array}

Therefore,option(2) is correct
