Solution

The correct option is C defence mechanisms of the body

Globulins in human blood plasma are primarily involved in defense mechanisms of the body.

Globulins like immunoglobulins act as antibodies that destroy bacteria, viruses and toxic substances that may enter the blood from outside.

Haemoglobin is the protein present in the RBC which transport oxygen from lungs to tissues and carbon dioxide from tissues to lungs.

Platelets are components of blood cells and they participate in blood clotting process.
