Solution

The correct option is B Formation of RBC
Erythropoietin is also known as haemopoietin. It is a glycoprotein secreted from juxtaglomerular cells of kidney. It stimulates the formation of RBCs in bone marrow and this process is called erythropoiesis. RBCs (Red Blood Cells) carry oxygen and transport it to various parts of body. Erythropoietin is secreted in response to hypoxic conditions i.e. low oxygen in body.
So, the correct answer is 'Formation of RBC'.
