Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
The decrease in the number of RBCs, termed erythrocytopenia, causes oxygen shortage in the blood and tissues. The oxygen shortage stimulates the juxtaglomerular cells of the kidney to secrete a hormone, named erythropoietin, into the blood. This hormone, in turn, stimulates the bone marrow to increase the production of RBCs.
So, the correct answer is 'Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion'.
