Right option would be B because embryonic (<8 weeks) hemoglobin contains epsilon and zeta and it also called Grower I type of hemoglobin.

But fetal (3-9 months) hemoglobin contains of alpha and gamma (it's a HbF type of hemoglobin).

Fetal hemoglobin contains gamma and alpha globin. Due to this fact the answer may be "C".
