Answer

Brief Explanations:

Iron is an essential mineral. It is a key component of hemoglobin in red blood cells. Hemoglobin binds to oxygen in the lungs and transports it to all body tissues. Among the given options (calcium, iron, sodium), iron is the mineral responsible for oxygen - carrying in the blood.

Answer:

The first blank: iron. The second blank: (assuming common rich sources like red meat, spinach etc. but based on the given options, if we consider the mineral first, the second part just needs to be consistent with the first. Since the first is iron, and if we assume a common rich - source related to the context, but as per the problem structure, we just focus on the mineral). So the answer for the first drop - down is iron.
