Solution

The correct option is D Act as carrier proteins
Alpha and beta globulins function as enzymes and proteins that transport compounds in the body. Gamma globulins act as the antibody defence against antigen invasion. Beta globulins are also manufactured mostly in the liver.
So the correct option is 'Act as carrier proteins'.
