Correct choice is (c) Sulphopropyl (SP)

To explain: Anion exchangers are positively charged exchangers which have negatively charged counter ions (anions) available for exchange. Diethylaminoethyl (DEAE), quaternary aminoethyl (QAE) and quaternary ammonium (Q) are anion exchangers. Sulphopropyl (SP) is a cation exchanger.
