Answer 1

The correct option is C Anemia

Option C: 'Anemia' is a deficiency of red blood cells or haemoglobin in the blood.

Hence this word substitutes the given words and option C is correct.

Option A: 'Amnesia' is 'a partial or total loss of memory'.

Option B: 'Insomnia' is 'a habitual sleeplessness, or the inability to sleep'.

Option D: 'Allergy' is 'a damaging immune response by the body to any substance, like food, dust, pollen, or fur'.
