When whole blood is stored with an anticoagulant at $4^{\circ}C$,the $K^+$ ions move out from the $RBC$ into the plasma. The most likely reason for this is that

  • A
    $RBC$ haemolyses and hence leakage of $K^+$ ions
  • B
    $K^+$ ions become more mobile at $4^{\circ}C$
  • C
    Active transport ceases resulting in ionic equilibrium
  • D
    The anticoagulant attracts the $K^+$ ions into the plasma
