Reaction given,

\Rightarrow 4 mole of \mathrm{H}^{+} are produced from 1 mol of \mathrm{SO}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}

\Rightarrow We know For 1 mole of  \mathrm{H}^{+} required 1 mol of \mathrm{NaOH} for complete neutralisation.

\Rightarrow For 16 mol \mathrm{H^{+}=16} mole of \mathrm{NaOH}

Now,

16 mole of \mathrm{H^{+}} are produced from \left ( \mathrm{\frac{16}{4}\times 1} \right ) mole \mathrm{SO}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2}

So, 4 mole of  \mathrm{SO}_{2} \mathrm{Cl}_{2} is used.

Hence, the correct answer is option (3).
