Solution

The correct option is A Myoglobin
Red muscles muscle fibres are dark red which is due to the presence of red haemoprotein called myoglobin.
Hemoglobin in its deoxygenated state has a low affinity for oxygen compared to myoglobin(it is present only in muscles)
Globulins, albumin, and fibrinogen are the major blood proteins.
Phycoerythrin (PE) is a red protein-pigment complex from the light-harvesting phycobiliprotein family, present in red algae and cryptophytes
