Solution

The correct option is C Al2(SO4)3
As Sb2S3 sol. carries a negative charge so it can be coagulated by positive ions.
And greater the valency of the flocculating ion, greater is its power to cause precipitation.
In all given compounds Al2(SO4)3 has positive cation with highest valency of +3.
