Solution
The correct option is B Hamburger phenomenon
Chloride shift (also known as the Hamburger phenomenon) is the movement of chloride ions from the plasma into red blood cells as a result of the transfer of carbon dioxide from tissues to the plasma, a process that serves to maintain blood pH. This phenomenon occurs when the blood gives up oxygen and receives carbon dioxide. It serves to maintain ionic equilibrium between the cell and surrounding fluid.
