Solution

The correct option is C Carbamino compound
When carbon dioxide binds to hemoglobin, it forms carbaminohaemoglobin molecule. It is one of the form in which CO $_{2}$ exists in blood. This decreases the affinity of haemoglobin for oxygen. Binding of CO $_{2}$ to haemoglobin is reversible. When it reaches the lungs, the carbon dioxide dissociates from the haemoglobin and is expelled out.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
