The composite $\chi^{ij}$ is in the <two-index symmetric representation> of $SU(p)$ and has
$$
q_\chi=2q_\psi+q_\lambda=-N.
$$
For that representation,
$$
A(\mathrm{sym})=p+4=N,
\quad I(\mathrm{sym})=p+2=N-2,
\quad \dim(\mathrm{sym})=\frac{p(p+1)}2.
$$
Its anomalies are consequently
$$
N,qquad -N(N-2),qquad
-\frac12p(p+1)N^3,qquad
-\frac12p(p+1)N,
$$
in the same order as part iii. Every anomaly matches, so confinement to the proposed massless composite is consistent with <'t Hooft anomaly matching>.
