\mathrm{NH_4OH} is a weak electrolyte while \mathrm{NH_4Cl} is a strong electrolyte.

\begin{aligned} &\mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{OH} \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{NH}_{4}^{+}+\mathrm{OH}^{-}\\ &\mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{Cl} \rightarrow \mathrm{NH}_{4}^{+}+\mathrm{Cl}^{-} \end{aligned}

\mathrm{NH}_{4}\mathrm{Cl} decreases the dissociation of \mathrm{NH}_{4}\mathrm{OH} by common ion effect.

Hence, the correct answer is Option (1)
