Solution

The correct option is C Hyperbolic
Myoglobin is an iron and oxygen-binding protein found in the muscle tissue. It is often cited as having an 'instant binding tenacity' to oxygen given its hyperbolic oxygen dissociation curve. High concentrations of myoglobin in muscle cells allow organisms to hold their breaths longer.
Thus, the correct answer is option (B), 'Hyperbolic'.
