Solution

The correct option is B Haemoglobin
Haemoglobin is a respiratory pigment present in the RBC of the blood. It is a oligoprotein which has four polypeptide chain, two alpha chain and two beta chain. It has a quaternary structure where each polypeptide has heme group with iron in the center. The polypeptide are linked together by the disulphide groups. The structure is stabilized by h-bonds. It is a chromoprotein because it has heme as a cofactor, which is iron containing pigment and makes the blood appear red. Each iron combines with a oxygen molecule.
So, the correct answer is option C.
