Assertion: `O_(2)` gets bound to haemoglobin in the lung surface and gets dissociated at the tissues.
Reason: `CO_(2)` trapped as bicarbonate at the tissue 1 and transported to the alveoli is released out as `CO_(2)`.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

C

If assertion is true but reason is false.

D

If both assertion and reason are false.

The correct Answer is:
B
`O_(2)` gets bound to haemoglobin in the lung surface and gets dissociated at the tissues.
`CO_(2)` trapped as bicarbonate at the tissue level and transported to the alveoli is released out as `CO_(2)`.
