As we learnt ,

 

 

Reaction of NaOH with salts -

Forming insoluble hydroxides which dissolves in excess of NaOH. Eg. Zn, Al, Sb, Pb, Sn, As

- wherein

ZnSO_{4}+2NaOH\rightarrow Zn(OH)_{2}\downarrow+Na_{2}SO_{4} \\Zn(OH)_{2}+2NaOH\rightarrow Na_{2}ZnO_{2}(sodium\ zincate)+2H_{2}O

 

 Zn(OH)_{2}+2NaOH\rightarrow Na_{2}ZnO_{2}(sodium\ zincate)

Sodium zincate is soluble in NaOH .

Therefore, option(3) is correct.
