Solution

The correct option is B potassium hydroxide
Aluminium hydroxide reacts with hot concentrated alkalis to form salt and water. Here, aluminium hydroxide reacts with hot concentrated potassium hydroxide to give potassium aluminate ( $K A l O_{2}$ ) and water, as shown below:

$A l (O H)_{3} + K O H (h o t c o n c .)$ $\to$ $K A l O_{2} + 2 H_{2} O$
