Based on the passage, which of the following best captures the meaning of HIF, or hypoxia-inducible factor?

A. It is a protein that increases inside the cell when the oxygen levels fall, helping the cell survive.
B. It inhibits oxygen carrying process in the body as the oxygen level increases inside the cell.
C. It enables cells to adapt quickly to the changing environment and helps in its survival.
D. It regulates the amount of oxygen available to the cell and the body during exercise.
