Solution

The correct option is A only (d)
Adult human RBCs or erythrocytes are enucleate i.e., they lack a nucleus. All their internal space is occupied by haemoglobin which is involved in oxygen transport and hence RBCs play a significant role in transport of respiratory gases throughout the body.
