• B. Number of platelets only
• C. Size and shape of WBC only
• D. Number of WBC only

Answer 1

The correct option is A Shape and size of RBC only

• To diagnose anaemia, your doctor may ask you about your medical and family history, perform a physical exam, and run the following tests: Complete blood count (CBC) or Red cell distribution width (RDW).
• A CBC is used to count the number of blood cells in a sample of your blood.
• Red cell distribution width (RDW) is also the test to diagnose anaemia. For instance, you'll probably have greater differences in red blood cell size if you have anaemia in these test.
• Hence, Anaemia can be diagnosed by the shape and size of RBC only.
• So, the correct answer is 'Shape and size of RBC only'.
