The airplane you are riding suddenly depressurizes at 10,000 feet in the air. This causes the PO₂ of the airplane's air to drastically decrease. You pass out before you can put on your oxygen mask. After being exposed to these pressure conditions for a time, PO₂ of the blood after oxygenation is only 60 mmHg. How saturated will hemoglobin be in these conditions (if the temperature remains around 38 degrees C) ?
A) About 60% saturated
B) About 85% saturated
C) About 90% saturated
