Solution

The correct option is C Erythrocytes
RBC's(erythrocytes) contain a very high concentration of the enzyme, carbonic anhydrase and minute quantities of the enzyme is present in plasma too. It helps in catalyzing the interconversion between carbon dioxide and water and dissociated ions of carbonic acid(i.e bicarbonate and hydrogen ions).

So the correct option is "erythrocytes".
