Assertion :A rise in PCO2, H+ ions and temperature shifts the HbO2 dissociation curve to right. Reason: A rise in PCO2 or fall in pH decreases oxygen affinity for haemoglobin.

Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion A shift to the right of oxygen dissociation curveIndicates dissociation of oxygen from haemoglobin, in thetissues, low pO2, high pCO2, high H+ concentration (low pH oracidity) and higher temperature favour dissociation of oxygenfrom the oxyhaemoglobin.
