C Correct answer
Explanation

Transportation of oxygen in humans is carried out by haemoglobin, which is stored in RBC’s. Haemoerythrin pigment is present in lower organisms while leghaemoglobin is present inside the root nodules of leguminous plants, e.g. pulses. Haemolysin is not a pigment. Thus, option (3) is correct.
