Solution

The correct option is B Oxygen
Erythropoiesis is the process whereby erythroid precursor cells proliferate and differentiate into RBCs. It is stimulated by the decrease in the level of oxygen in the blood, that is detected by the kidneys, which then secrete the hormone erythropoietin. Erythropoietin stimulates proliferation and differentiation of red cell precursors, which activates increased erythropoiesis in the haemopoietic tissues like bone marrow
So, the correct answer is 'Oxygen'
