In hyperventilation:

A
P50 and Hb affinity for O2 increases
B
P50 and Hb affinity for O2 decreases
C
P50 increases and O2 affinity decreases
D
P50 decreases and O2 affinity increases
High-Yield Explanation
Hyperventilation washes out CO2 from body, leadng to alkalosis.So, Oxygen hemoglobin dissociation  curve will  shift  to  left  (high  affinity), decreasing P50 of hemoglobin. Reference: Ganong’s Review of Medical Physiology 24th edition pg 611
