Options:
A) acts as an oxygen carrier in the blood
B) forms antibodies and offers resistance to diseases
C) enzymes are specific biological catalysts that can normally function at very high temperature $ ( T\tilde{\ }1000K ) $
D) enzymes are specific biological catalysts that possess well-defined active sites
