The amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) that is transported in the blood is influenced by a number of factors, including the pH of the blood. When the pH of the blood decreases (becomes more acidic), it leads to an increase in the amount of CO2 that is transported by the blood. 

This is because carbon dioxide can react with water in the blood to form carbonic acid, which dissociates into bicarbonate ions and hydrogen ions. The increase in the concentration of hydrogen ions (which contribute to acidity) can lead to a shift in the balance of the reaction, causing more carbon dioxide to be converted to bicarbonate ions.

Option b is the correct answer.
