Solution

The correct option is D RBCs and plasma
Oxygen transport is done exclusively by RBCs in the form of oxyhemoglobin. Carbon dioxide transport may be by 3 ways:
  1. Dissolved in plasma (7%)
  2. In the form of carbaminohemoglobin (23%)
  3. As bicarbonates(70%)
Hence the correct option is D.
