Question
Assertion (A) – RBCs are circular and biconcave in shape lacking all cell organelles.
Reason (R) - Circular and biconcave shape increase the surface area for oxygen binding and the lack of organelles results in no self-utilisation of the oxygen being carried.
Options:
A .  Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A.
B .  A is correct but R is wrong
C .  A is wrong but R is correct
D .  Both A and R are wrong
