Blood is made up of various types of proteins. Three major proteins found in blood plasma are - albumins, globulins, and fibrinogen.

Albumins are proteins that help in maintaining the osmotic balance of the blood.

Globulins are primarily involved in the defense mechanisms of the body. Globulins like antibodies bind to foreign organisms which might have entered into the blood from outside and destroy them.

Fibrinogens are the proteins that initiate the blood clotting process, thereby preventing the loss of blood from the body.

Hemoglobin is responsible for the transportation of oxygen in the blood. It is also involved in the transportation of carbon dioxide.

Thus, the correct match for these proteins will be:
