    Aluminum sulphate
Answer
Correct option: A.
Glucose
(A) Glucose
$\Delta_f T=i m K_f$
For the solutions of same $m$ and $K_f$
$\Delta_f T \sim i$
For $C _6 H _{12} O _6 \quad \Rightarrow i =1$
$KCl \Rightarrow i =2$
$Na _2 SO _4 \Rightarrow i =3$
$Al _2 SO _4 \Rightarrow i =5$
Minimum $i$ is for glucose so $\Delta T_f$ will be minimum for it and freezing point will be maximum for glucose.
