Answer:

b. decreased pH and increased PCO2

Step-by-step explanation:

a lower and more acidic pH will lead to dissociation of oxygen form the hemoglobin.

the increase in PCO2 will cause a decrease in pH , so the affinity of heamoglobin for oxygen will decrease and improve the unloading of oxygen.
