As we have learnt,

Nessler's reagent is used for the detection of Ammonium ions and forms a brown precipitate with \text{NH}_{4}^{+}

\mathrm{NH _{4} Cl +2 K _{2}\left[ HgI _{4}\right]+4 KOH \rightarrow \underset{Iodide\ of\ Milon's\ base}{NH _{2}- Hg - O - Hg - I} +7 KI + KCl +3 H _{2} O}Hence, the correct answer is Option (4)
