Answer #1

Basic anions

The anions (conjugate bases) of weak acids.

Here , CN- and PO43- are basic

Neutral anions

The anions (conjugate bases) of strong acids.

Here, Cl- is neutral anion.

Acidic anions

They can act as weak acids.

Here, HSO4- is acidic anion.(There might be some error in the question since HSO4- exists but not HSO42- , instead SO42- exists)
