Solution

The correct option is C
Due to the presence of sodium chloride

Blood is a coloured fluid which consists of two parts: the plasma and corpuscles. The plasma is yellowish in colour. Most of it is water (about 90%) and the remaining 10% consists of dissolved nutrients, proteins, waste products, and hormones. There are also dissolved minerals like sodium chloride in the plasma, which make the blood taste saltish.
