Solution

The correct option is B False
Again we have to apply Henry’s law. As the altitude increases, the atmospheric pressure decreases. As the pressure decreases, the solubility of oxygen decreases. (Solubility of gas in liquid is directly proportional to the pressure applied on the gas - Henrys law) so at high altitudes, concentration of oxygen is low in blood.
