Haemoglobin levels in the blood samples of two persons A and B are found to be 9 gm/dL and 13 gm/dL respectively. Which statement is true with respect to the amount of oxygen supply in their body?

The correct option is A More in person B than in person A
Hemoglobin is a protein that is present in the red blood cells. The protein can bind to oxygen and help in the transport of oxygen.
The amount of hemoglobin specifies the amount of oxygen that can be supplied by the blood cells to the tissues in the body.
The level of hemoglobin in person A is less than the level in person B.
So, there will be more amount of oxygen transported in person B compared to person A.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
