Best answer
The correct option is (b) Diethylaminoethyl (DEAE)

Explanation: The odd one out is diethylaminoethyl (DEAE) as it is an anion exchanger as compared to Carboxymethyl (CM), sulphopropyl (SP) and methyl sulphonate (S) are cation exchangers. Cation exchangers are negatively charged exchangers which have positively charged counter ions (cation).
