Solution

The correct options are
A Sodium salts of sulfonated long chain alcohol
C Sodium salts of sulfonated long chain hydrocarbons
Anionic detergents: Typical anionic detergents are alkylbenzene sulfonate.

Cationic detergents: Cationic detergents are, with a hydrophobic component of quaternary ammonium as the polar end. The ammonium centre is positively charged.

Non-ionic and zwitterionic detergents: Typical non-ionic detergents are based on polyoxyethylene or a glycoside.

Hence, options A and D are correct and option C is an example of non-ionic detergent and option D is an example of cationic detergent.
