Solution

The correct option is A $A l (O H)_{3}$
The value of solubility product for $A l (O H)_{3}$ is $8.5 \times 10^{- 23}$ .

It is much lower than the value of the solubility product for $Z n (O H)_{2}$ which is $1.8 \times 10^{- 14}$ .
Hence, when both $A l^{3 +}$ and $Z n^{2 +}$ ions are present in the solution and as $N H_{4} O H$ is added, $A l (O H)_{3}$ will precipitate first as the solubility product of $A l (O H)_{3}$ is quite low.

Hence, its ionic product will exceed its solubility product at a very low concentration of $O H^{-}$ ions.

Option A is correct.
