Solution

The correct answer is a. Statement b is true and statement a is false.

Explanation:

Statement a is false because Haemopoiesis is the process of formation of blood cellular components, not specifically the formation of haemoglobin in red blood cells.

Statement b is true because Haemoglobin is indeed a tetramer (a protein with four subunits) and each of these subunits does contain a central haem moiety (a component that includes an iron atom bound within a porphyrin ring). This structure allows haemoglobin to bind and carry oxygen.
