Solution

The correct option is C Insecta
Correct answer is C.
Hemocyanins are copper containing respiratory pigments (blue colored pigments) found in molluscs and arthropods (like insects) that transport oxygen throughout the bodies of these organisms. The two copper atoms present in these metalloproteins bind reversibly with a single oxygen molecule.
