The molecule that combines with oxygen to transport it in red blood cells is:
A
albumin
B
globulin
C
hemoglobin
D
seratonin
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hemoglobin (Heme + Globin) The protein hemoglobin is a molecule which is responsible for carrying almost all of the oxygen in the blood. It is composed of four subunits, each with a heme group plus a globin chain.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hemoglobin is the iron-containing protein present in the red blood corpuscles. They help in carrying oxygen molecules and transport them to the targeted cells and tissues. When hemoglobin binds with the oxygen molecule the resultant compound formed is known as oxyhemoglobin. It is bright red in color.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hemoglobin contains iron, which allows it to pick up oxygen from the air we breathe and deliver it everywhere in the body. You can think of hemoglobin as the iron ("heme"), oxygen transport protein, ("globin") found in red blood cells. It’s the hemoglobin that gives red blood cells their color, too.
