Solution

The correct option is A Suffocation
Carbon dioxide is transported in the blood from the tissue to the lungs in three ways:
  • Dissolved in solution
  • Buffered with water as carbonic acid
  • Bound to proteins, particularly hemoglobin.
The increased binding of this will cause suffocation to person.
So, the correct option is 'Suffocation'.
