Carbon dioxide is transported in the blood from the tissue to the lungs in three ways: (i) dissolved in solution; (ii) buffered with bicarbonate and (iii) bound to proteins, particularly haemoglobin. Majority of the carbon dioxide in the blood is carried by means of a bicarbonate buffer system. So, the correct option is 'hydrogen carbonate'.
