Which protein is responsible for facilitating the transport of hemoglobin across the placenta from the mother to the fetus?

A Transferrin
B Ceruloplasmin
C Haptoglobin
D Placental lactogen
Haptoglobin binds free hemoglobin released from erythrocytes with high affinity and thereby protects the kidneys from damage by filtering the hemoglobin out of the bloodstream, but in the context of the placenta, it plays a role in transporting hemoglobin.
