Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In a molecule of
N_(2)H_(4), there are 2 nitrogen atoms and 4 hydrogen atoms.

In a molecule of
Al(OH)_(3), there are one aluminium atom, three oxygen atoms, and three hydrogen atoms.

In a molecule of
(NH_(4))_(2)SO_(4), there are 2 nitrogen atoms, 8 hydrogen atoms, one sulfur atom and 4 oxygen atoms.

In a molecule of
NH_(4)NO_(3), there are 2 nitrogen atoms, 4 hydrogen atoms and 3 oxygen atoms.

Therefore, we can conclude that out of the given options
Al(OH)_(3) is the molecule which contains the smallest number of hydrogen atoms.
