Solution

The correct option is D Hamburger's phenomenon
  • Chloride shift is also known as the Hamburger phenomenon, named after Hartog Jakob Hamburger, it is a process that occurs in a cardiovascular system and refers to the exchange of bicarbonate and chloride ions across the membrane of red blood cells.
  • Haldane and Bohr's effect complement each other. In tissues, the addition of carbon dioxide to the blood facilitates the unloading of oxygen by the Bohr effect. While oxygen unloading favours uptake of carbon dioxide by the Haldane effect.
So the correct answer is option C.
