Solution

The correct option is B Accelerates the production of RBC and Hb
The primary role of erythropoietin is an essential hormone for red cell production. Without it, erythropoiesis does not take place. Under hypoxic conditions, the kidney will produce and secrete erythropoietin to increase the production of red blood cells.
