Solution

The correct option is C Erythroblastosis foetalis
  • Erythroblastosis fetalis is also known as hemolytic disease of the newborn.
  • It is an alloimmune condition that develops in a fetus when the maternal antibody IgG passes through the placenta which leads to severe consequences.
  • The maternal antibodies attack the fetal RBC and destroy them and ultimately leads to a disease known as reticulocytosis and anemia.
So, the correct answer is option C.
