Detailed Solution

A- Neutral amino acid.B- Acidic amino acid.C- basic amino acid.The main factor that effect electrophoretic mobility is magnitude of charge an ion. Greater the magnitude of charge greater is the electrophoretic mobility.At pH = 1 A & B  posses +1 charge and C posses +2 charge .So, these migrate towards cathode and ‘C’ has more electrophoretic mobility.At pH=12 A & C possess ‘-1’ charge and ‘B’ possess ‘-2’ charge So, these migrate towards anode and ‘B’ has more electrophoretic mobility .
