Alternate exterior angles are formed when a transversal intersects two lines and are located outside the parallel lines, on opposite sides of the transversal. From the diagram, we observe that:

1. \(\angle BCA\) (exterior to the intersection at point C) and \(\angle EFC\) (exterior to the intersection at point F) are on opposite sides of transversal CF.
2. \(\angle GFC\) and \(\angle DCA\) would be alternate exterior angles if they were outside the lines, but both are actually interior.
3. \(\angle GFC\) and \(\angle BCA\) have the same orientation as alternate exterior angles, but \(\angle GFC\) is an interior angle.
4. \(\angle GFH\) and \(\angle BCA\) have \(\angle GFH\) located inside the line system, hence not exterior.

Thus, the correct pair of alternate exterior angles is \(\angle BCA\) and \(\angle EFC\).
