Solution
The correct option is A Bicarbonates
Carbonic anhydrase is an enzyme that balances the pH of the blood and enables the breathing out of carbon dioxide.
In red blood cells, carbonic anhydrase catalyzes the reaction to convert carbon dioxide into carbonic acid, which further breaks down into bicarbonate ions and protons (H+). Hence, Carbonic anhydrase regulates the formation of Bicarbonates.
