Solution

The correct option is A Albumin
Serum albumin accounts for 55% of blood proteins and is a major contributor to maintaining the osmotic pressure of plasma to assist in the transport of lipids and steroid hormones. Globulins are immunogenic in function. The fibrinogen help in clotting.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Albumin'.
