Solution

The correct option is A Bicarbonate form
20 to 25 % of carbon dioxide is carried as carbamino-haemoglobin.
Around 70 to 80% of carbon dioxide is transported as sodium bicarbonate at the tissue level and transported to the alveoli is released out as carbon dioxide.
Every 100 ml blood contains 4 ml carbon dioxide in dissolved form.
So the correct option is 'Bicarbonate form'
