Solution

Carbonic anhydrase

The carbonic anhydrase is an enzyme found in the RBCs. Within the RBC this enzyme catalyses the formation of carbonic acid $(H_{2} C O_{3})$ from $C O_{2}$ and water. It is a reversible reaction that helps in the transportation of $C O_{2}$ in the blood.

Final answer: (3) Carbonic anhydrase
