is a negatively charged colloid.
According to Hardy Schulze rule, greater the charge on the oppositely charged ion of the electrolyte added, more effective is the coagulation. Thus to coagulate a negatively charged colloid, we must see the positively charged ions.
contains ions,
contains ions,
contains ions,
contains ions.
Here, ion has the highest positive charge and bearing the highest positive charge is most effective in bringing the coagulation of negatively charged colloid.
Hence the correct option is (1).
