\mathrm{Zn ^{2+}} ions form a white precipitate of \mathrm{Zn(OH)_2} which on reaction with the excess of the reagent dissolves forming a complex \mathrm{Na_2[Zn(OH)_4]}.

The reactions are given as 

\mathrm{Zn ^{2+}+2 NaOH \rightarrow Zn ( OH )_{2}+2 Na ^{+}}

\mathrm{Zn ( OH )_{2}+2 NaOH \rightarrow Na _{2} [Zn(OH) _{4}]}

Hence, the correct answer is Option (2)
