Solution

The correct option is C Bone marrow
Erythrocytes formation takes place in the Bone Marrow. Its production is stimulated by the low level of O2. This low level of oxygen stimulates the kidneys to secrete the hormone erythropoietin into the blood, and this hormone in a domino effect stimulates the bone marrow to produce erythrocytes.

So, the correct answer is 'Bone marrow'.
