Solution

The correct option is A Carboxy hemoglobin
Carbon dioxide molecules are transported through the blood from tissues to the lungs either by direct dissolution into the blood, bounded to hemoglobin, or carried as a bicarbonate. When carbon dioxide binds to hemoglobin, a molecule of carbamino hemoglobin is formed.
So, the correct answer is option A.
