Solution
The correct option is D Oxygen
Most of oxygen is transported by binding to haemoglobin, while a little of carbon dioxide is transported by this method. Only 20-25% of carbon dioxide is transported by binding to haemoglobin, about 70% of it is transported as carbonate ions and around 3% by simple diffusion. Nitrogen and carbon monoxide are not normally transported by the blood.
