Hardy-Schulze Rule: Greater the valence of flocculating ion added, greater is its power to cause coagulation. \mathrm{\mathrm{Sb}_2 \mathrm{S}_3} is negative sol. So, cation with greater valency will have greater power to cause coagulation. Among the given electrolytes, \mathrm{\mathrm{Al}_2\left(\mathrm{SO}_4\right)_3} have the higher valence cation \mathrm{\left(\mathrm{Al}^{3+}\right)}. Therefore, \mathrm{\mathrm{Al}^{3+}} has highest coagulation power for \mathrm{\mathrm{Sb}_2 \mathrm{S}_3}
Order of coagulating power of given cations is
\mathrm{ \mathrm{Al}^{3+}>\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}>\mathrm{Na}^{+} \equiv \mathrm{NH}_4^{+} }

Hence option 3 is correct.
