What is the physiological significance of the hemoglobin curve being dynamic?

It prevents hemoglobin from releasing oxygen

It ensures hemoglobin only binds oxygen in the lungs

It enables hemoglobin to adjust oxygen affinity based on tissue needs

It allows hemoglobin to always have high oxygen affinity
