Solution

The correct option is C Sigmoid.
Oxygen haemoglobin dissociation curve gives the relationship between the saturation of haemoglobin and oxygen tension.
The curve obtained by plotting percent saturation of Hb against time is sigmoid, at $30^{\circ} C$ and $p H 7.4$ . Dissociation of oxyhaemoglobin can be promoted by rise in the body temperature and low pH (high $C O_{2})$ .
