Which statement best describes why oxygen is unloaded in tissue that is highly active?

A) As temperature increases due to increased metabolism, the affinity of hemoglobin for oxygen is decreased. B) As temperature increases, the carbamino effect causes hemoglobin to release oxygen. C) As temperature increases, the Bohr effect causes hemoglobin to release oxygen.
