Solution

The correct answer is e. A & C.

Here's why:

a. Erythrocytes, also known as red blood cells, are primarily responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues. They do this by carrying a protein called hemoglobin, which binds to oxygen.

c. Plasma, the liquid component of blood, carries carbon dioxide, a waste product of cellular respiration, from the body's tissues back to the lungs, where it is exhaled.

b. White blood cells, on the other hand, are not involved in the transport of oxygen or carbon dioxide. Their primary role is to fight infections and diseases.

So, both erythrocytes (A) and plasma (C) are involved in the transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide around the body, making e. A & C the correct answer.
