Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B), (C)

Delivering carbon dioxide to the lungs.

Blood functions to deliver carbon dioxide to the lungs to be expelled. Blood collects oxygen from the lungs and nutrients from the small intestine to be transported to all parts of the body. However, electric impulses that carry information are transferred through nerves and not the blood.
