The graphs below show pairs of oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curves.

Which one of these diagrams most accurately depicts the oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curves with solid line for adult hemoglobin with normal Hb concentration(15g/dl) and the dashed line for condition of
Q1) polycythemia Vera
Q2) Anemia due to chronic bleeding
Q3) fetal Hb
Q4) CO poisoning
 
Almost there,
Q1: E

Q2: E

Q3: C

Q4: A

Achange in Hb concentration does not affect the oxyhemoglobin dissociation curve if the association of oxygen and hemoglobin is expressed as percent saturation (not as oxygen content) in the y-axis.
