Solution

The correct option is D ${C a}^{2 +}$
According to Hardy Schulz rule, the coagulating power of the active ion increases with the valency of the active ion. Higher is the valency of the active ion, greater will be its power to precipitate the sol and hence proteins can be easily precipitated by $C a^{2 +}$ .
