The right option is; transport oxygen through the blood.

Hemoglobin protein is a globular protein that transports oxygen through blood from the lungs to the various tissues of the body. Hemoglobin protein is made up of four protein chains, two alpha chains and two beta chains which are joined together by intermolecular interactions. Hemoglobin protein also transports other substances such as carbon dioxide and nitric oxide within the body.
