Which statement is correct?
A.
In a red blood cell, \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) can combine with haemoglobin to form haemoglobinic acid.
B.
Carbonic anhydrase is an enzyme that catalyses the reaction between \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) and \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\).
C.
At the lungs, carbon dioxide is released when carbonic acid and water react together.
D.
The greater the concentration of \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\) in the blood, the higher the affinity of haemoglobin for oxygen.
