In the following question a statement of assertion (A) is followed by a statement of reason (R). Mark the correct choice as : Assertion (A): Smoking increases the carbon monoxide (CO) content in the blood which has greater affinity to haemoglobin than oxygen. Reason (R) CO forms a stable bond with haemoglobin and does not allow binding of oxygen. It reduces concentration of haem bound oxygen and causes oxygen deficiency in the body.
