Solution

The correct option is D it combines with the haemoglobin of blood making it incapable of absorbing $O_{2}$
Carbon monoxide binds to haemoglobin to form carboxyhaemoglobin, which is about 300 times more stable than the oxygen-haemoglobin complex.

In blood, when the concentration of carboxyhaemoglobin reaches about 34 %, the oxygen-carrying capacity is reduced greatly leading to a lack of oxygen in the body.

Therefore, option B is correct.
