\mathrm{AgCl} and \mathrm{AgBr} dissolve in \mathrm{NH_4OH} and form complexes but \mathrm{AgI} doesn't react with \text{NH}_{4}\text{OH}.


The reaction with \mathrm{AgCl} occurs as given below :

\mathrm{AgCl}+2 \mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{OH} \rightarrow\left[\mathrm{Ag}\left(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right)_{2}\right] \mathrm{Cl}+2 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}

A similar reaction also occurs with \mathrm{AgBr}

Hence, the correct answer is Option (3)
