Solution

The correct option is B As bicarbonates
Blood is the medium of transport for carbon dioxide. Nearly 20-25 per cent of carbon dioxide is transport by RBC's whereas 70 per cent of it is carried as bicarbonate. About 7 per cent of carbon dioxide is carried in a dissolved state through plasma.
So the correct answer is 'As bicarbonates'.
