Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (a) Transport of oxygen
Explanation
Haemoglobin, the red, iron-containing pigment of red blood cells, carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues. It also carries part of the carbon dioxide back to the lungs.
Lack of haemoglobin causes anaemia; it does not destroy bacteria (that is the work of white blood cells).
