Solution

The correct option is C Sigmoid
Oxygen dissociation curves show the relationship between oxygen levels (as partial pressure) and haemoglobin saturation. The oxygen dissociation curve for adult haemoglobin is sigmoidal (i.e. S-shaped) due to cooperative binding. So, the correct answer is (C).
