Question

Anaemia is caused due to a shortage of which of the following component of blood?

• A. Haemoglobin
• B. Blood cells
• C. Plasma
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Haemoglobin

Iron deficiency can lead to anaemia, that is a low number of haemoglobin in the blood as there is insufficient iron in the body to produce enough of haemoglobin.

Iron is an important component of haemoglobin which is present in red blood cells. It carries oxygen from the lungs to different parts of the body. Sources of iron include sunflower seeds, nuts, beef, beans, green leafy vegetables, tofu, amla, jaggery.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
