Solution

The correct option is D Arterial $p O_{2}$ is increased
$p O_{2}$

When the partial pressure of oxygen or $p O_{2}$ increases in the blood then the oxyhaemoglobin curve is shifted towards the left side.

This results in the association of oxygen with haemoglobin.

Thus, the percentage of haemoglobin saturated with oxygen will increase if the arterial $p O_{2}$ is increased.

Final answer: (3) Arterial $p O_{2}$ is increased
