Solution

The correct option is D Hemoglobin
Myoglobin is helpful in the transportation of oxygen from blood to mitochondria in the cells.

Insulin acts as a signal for the liver to store glucose as glycogen when the body has enough energy.

Albumin acts as a carrier protein for fats and steroids and helps in maintaining osmotic pressure.

Haemoglobin has oxygen bound to it to form the stable complex-oxyhaemoglobin, thereby transporting oxygen through blood.
