I believe the best answer is C.
Red blood cell is shaped as a biconcave discs, this shape allows them to squeeze through small capillaries.
The biconcave shape of the cell allows oxygen exchange at a constant rate over the largest possible area. The biconcave shape increases the cell's surface area compared to a flat disk of the same size. The greater surface area makes it easier for gases to move into and out of the red blood cell.
The biconcave shape provides a large surface area compared to the volume of the red blood cell, allowing diffusion to happen efficiently. This shape optimizes the ratio of surface area to volume, facilitating gas exchange. It also enables them to fold up as they move through narrow blood vessels.

The correct answer is C) "B and F"
Answer:
The sodium-potassium pump contributes to the resting membrane potential.
Explanation:
This is the stage in which the neuron is not depolarize. 3Na+ are pumped outside through the sodium channels, while K+ channels are open for2 K+ to enter the cells.After some time the Na+ channels closed up. However some K+ channels still leaks , so that K+ still escape out of the cells to the external environment ,which contains more of Na+. Therefore at this stage there are more Na+ outside the neuron compare to the inside the neuron. Therefore the inside of the neuron is negative , because more K+ are leaving the cells, leaving negatively charged anions inside, and the outside is positive due to more Na+ are outside, and because the K+ leaking outwards.
The regulation of the Na+ and K+ ions movements is regulated by sodium potassium pumps along the membrane of the neuron. if the potential at this stage is measured, it has a value of -70mv, and it is called membrane potential.
