Anion exchange capacity (AEC) refers to the soil’s ability to adsorb negatively charged ions (anions). It is mainly governed by the presence of hydroxyl groups (Al–OH) on clay minerals and protonation of organic matter. Carboxyl and phenolic groups contribute to cation exchange capacity (CEC), not AEC. Hence, (a) is unrelated.
