Solution

The correct option is C Oxyhaemoglobin would not dissociate to supply O2 to the tissue
When the oxygen concentration in tissue is high then oxygen dissociation curve shifts to the left. A right shift of the hemoglobin dissociation curve causes a decrease in the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen. This makes it harder for the hemoglobin to bind to oxygen and makes it easier for the hemoglobin to release bound oxygen. Conversely, a left shift of the hemoglobin dissociation curve increases the affinity, making the oxygen easier for the hemoglobin to pick up but harder to release.
Image result for When the oxygen concentration in tissue is high the oxygen dissociation curve shifts to the left.
