Answer:

There are so many factors involve in myoglobin affinity one of them is :

iron group in myoglobin has an oxidation state of 2+. When oxygen binds to the iron, it gets oxidized to an oxidation state of 3+.

This allows the oxygen that is binded to have a negative charge, which stabilizes it. That's why myoglobin's affinity for oxygen is higher than hemoglobin.

The correct answer is convection because the campfire warms the air around the person.  

Convection refers to the transfer of mass motion of a fluid like water or air when the heated fluid is made to be carried away from the heat source, that is, carrying energy with it. Convection takes place when particles with an ample of heat energy in a gas or liquid move and occupy the place of constituents with less heat energy.
