  • A
    A only
  • B
    B only
  • C
    C and D only
  • Correct answer
    D
    A and B only

Solution

The most common polar and acidic support used is adsorption chromatography is silica. The surface silanol groups on their supported to adsorb polar compound and work particularly well for basic substances. Alumina is the example of polar and basic adsorbent that is used in adsorption chromatography.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
