Detailed Solution

Osmotic pressure is π=iCRT

where,

π=osmotic pressure of the solution

i= Van't hoff factor =1 (for non-electrolytes)

R= Gas constant

T= temperature of the solution

osmotic pressure directly proportional to no. of solute(i) as all have same concentration.

 So, For Glucose(non-electrolyte), i=1

             Urea(non-electrolyte), i=1

             Alum, i=3

             NaCl, i=2

Therefore, Alum has the highest osmotic pressure because the colligative ions are the most in it and it will exert the highest osmotic pressure due to a large number of ions or particles.

Hence, option(c) is correct.
