Solution

The correct option is A
pernicious anaemia

Anaemia is a condition in which the body does not have enough healthy red blood cells. Red blood cells provide oxygen to body tissues. There are many types of anaemia. Pernicious anaemia is a decrease in red blood cells that occurs when the intestines cannot properly absorb vitamin B₁₂.
