Solution

The correct option is A CO2 on haemoglobin
Borh effects is the effect of CO2 on hemoglobin (A option)

This effect explains how hydrogen ions and carbon dioxide effect the effinity of oxygen in Haemoglobin. If pH was lower than it normally was, then the haemoglobin does not bind O2 as well.
The lower the pH, more hydrogen ions, the high CO2 level and less affinity towards haemoglobin has for O2 and vice versa.
