Answer:

C. Oxygen and Carbon dioxide

Step-by-step explanation:

Hemoglobin helps to transport oxygen from lungs to cells and carbon dioxide from cells to lungs. However, it's not the only way to transport these gases.

Each hemoglobin contain four subunits and binds four oxygen molecules and RBC turn into bright red. Carbon dioxide attached to hemoglobin is called as carbaminohemoglobin , this binding is reversible and the carbon disassociates itself from hemoglobin in lungs to escape into the air via alveoli.
