Answer
Both A and R are False.
Reason — Haemoglobin is a respiratory pigment found in red blood cells, but it is made of: Globin (a protein), Heme group containing iron , not iodine. Iodine is essential for the synthesis of thyroid hormones, not haemoglobin. Anaemia is caused by iron deficiency, not iodine deficiency.
