Solution

The correct option is A High pCO2
An increase in [pCO2], [H+], and temperature, can lead to the right shift of the oxygen-haemoglobin dissociation curve. The increase in [pCO2], [H+] causes a decrement in the pH which leads to the change in oxygen-haemoglobin binding.
So, the correct answer is (A)
