 Carbonic anhydrase is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of CO2 and water into carbonic acid, which then dissociates into bicarbonate ions and hydrogen ions. Bicarbonate ions are indeed the most common transport form of CO2 in the blood, but this is not directly related to the catalytic activity of carbonic anhydrase.

Option 2 is the correct answer.
