Solution
The correct option is
A
Glycoprotein
Erythropoietin is a hormone released by the kidney.
It is a glycoprotein.
This hormone helps in the proliferation and differentiation of erythrocyte precursors.
Thus, they produce red blood cells (RBCs) from the bone marrow cells and this process is also known as erythropoiesis.
The cells of the kidney that produces erythropoietin are sensitive to low oxygen levels in the blood that travels to the kidney.
So, the correct answer is 'Glycoprotein'.
