Answer»

Right option is (b) Aluminium

The best I can explain: Chlorinated solutions of zinc and aluminium hydroxides are more active oxidizing agents than are comparably treated solutions of the alkalis or ALKALINE EARTHS because of greater hydrolysis and consequent more rapid DECOMPOSITION of HYPOCHLOROUS ACID.
