Solution
The correct option is C Haemocyanin
Hemolymph is a fluid that circulates in organisms belonging to phylum Mollusca and Arthropoda as they possess open circulatory system. It contains hemocyanin that has two copper atoms that reversibly binds to a single oxygen molecule and help in its transport to all body parts. Oxygenation causes a color change between the colorless Cu(I) deoxygenated form and the blue Cu(II) oxygenated form.Thus the correct answer is option B.
