The correct option is B Synthesising more erythropoietin
Erythropoietin is the hormone which is produced by the cells of juxtaglomerular apparatus of the kidney and have an effect on the bone marrow. When the person suffers from anaemia, there are less number of red blood cells and low level of haemoglobin. Due to this, there is less supply of oxygen to the tissues. The hormone erythropoietin is responsible for the synthesis of the red blood cells by the bone marrow.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
