Solution

The correct option is A Al2(SO4)3
1 molecule each of Al2(SO4)3, Na2SO4, MgCl2 and KCl will dissociate to provide 5, 3, 3 and 2 ions respectively. Thus, Al2(SO4)3 provides maximum number of ions in aqueous solution.

Hence, Al2(SO4)3 will exert the highest osmotic pressure for the same concentration.
