Solution

The correct answer is 1.
Haemoglobin is a complex of Fe(II) bound to porphyrin rings.
A porphyrin molecule can coordinate to a metal using the four nitrogen atoms as electron-pair donors and hence, is a polydentate ligand. This porphyrin ring consists of four pyrrole molecules cyclically linked together (by bridges) with the iron ion bound in the center.
