The correct option is A Higher affinity for oxygen.
Fetal haemoglobin has two alpha and two gamma subunit whereas adult haemoglobin has two alpha and two beta subunits. Fetal haemoglobin has a great affinity for oxygen because of its interaction with 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate and thus, shows oxy-haemoglobin dissociation curve towards left. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
