The correct choice is (a) ion exchange resin based method.

Explanation: Silica derivatized groups by DEAE are used for purification of DNA. These groups are positively charged and the DNA gets attached to it, along with other species such as RNA which are negatively charged. Further, DNA can be obtained by varying the ionic concentrations.
