Solution

The correct option is D Fe(OH)3
Aluminium hydroxide, zinc hydroxide and lead hydroxide dissolve in excess sodium hydroxide solution to form soluble compounds. However, ferric hydroxide is not soluble in excess sodium hydroxide solution.
The reactions in NaOH are as follows:
Al(OH)3+NaOHNaAlO2sodium meta aluminate+2H2O
Zn(OH)2+2NaOHNa2ZnO2sodium zincate+2H2O
Pb(OH)2+2NaOHNa2PbO2sodium plumbite+2H2O

Fe(OH)3+NaOHno reaction
