Correct option is (a) DEAE-cellulose

For explanation I would say: Alkaline protease is purified by using DEAE-cellulose which has been equilibrate with 10 mM Tris/ HCl buffer, containing 50 mM KCl. Q-sepharose is used to purify peroxidases. Amberlite CG-50 is used to purify cytochrome c. Sephacryl S-300 is used to purify alpha amylase by the gel permeation technique.
