Answer 1

The correct answer is - B) Methemeglobin.

Step-by-step explanation:

Methemeglobin is a blood disorder due to the mutation in the hemoglobin which is known as the result of oxygen-less blood. In this disorder, the tissue did not get enough oxygen and appeared to be purple, or blue.

In this mutated form of hemoglobin iron atoms present in ferric instead of the ferrous state and therefore not able to bind with oxygen. It appears blue in veins and tissues look blue or purple.
