Answer:

The correct answer is option A. False.

Explanation:

John Scott Haldane described a property of hemoglobin which is termed as the Haldane effect. Displacement of carbon dioxide from the hemoglobin of blood by oxygen in the lungs. It promotes the removal of CO₂ from the blood. This process is the Haldane effect.

Decrease in the affinity of the oxygen to binding with hemoglobin in response to a decrease in blood pH due to increased CO₂ concentration in the blood. It is the Bohr effect.

Thus, the correct answer is option A. false.
