The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
During transport of CO by RBCs, carbonic acid is formed by the action of enzyme carbonic anhydrase. The carbonic acid of RBCs dissociates into hydrogen (H) and bicarbonate ions (HCO). Most of bicarbonate ions(HCO) formed within RBCs diffuse out into the blood plasma along the concentration gradient. Exit of bicarbonate ions, considerably change ionic balance between the plasma and the erythrocytes (RBCs). To restore this ionic balance, the chloride ions diffuse from the plasma into the erythrocytes. This movement of chloride ions is called chloride shift (Hamburger's phenomenon).

Breathing and Exchange of Gases
A metabolic process, which is carried out by all living organisms including plants, animals, and humans for the production of energy and to stay alive is Respiration. Except for required anaerobes, every other organism from amoeba to humans needs oxygen for survival. And evolution has reported a number of systems that allows the exchange of gases in organisms.
There are two types of respiration such as;
- Aerobic respiration — to produce energy, it occurs in the presence of oxygen
- Anaerobic respiration — to produce energy, occurs in the absence of oxygen
Breathing can be simply derived as the process of inhaling oxygen gas from the atmosphere and exhaling the carbon dioxide gas back into the atmosphere is termed breathing and the process is commonly known as respiration.
