Solution
The correct option is C Folic acid and cobalamine
Anaemia refers to any condition in which there is an abnormally low haemoglobin concentration or blood cell count.
The most common cause is deficiency of iron which is an essential element of the haemoglobin molecule.
Thus, taking iron compounds in the diet will help to reduce the symptoms of anaemia.
Thiamine (vitamin B1), deficiency causes beriberi. Riboflavin (vitamin B2) deficiency causes cheilosis and skin diseases. Hence, folic acid and cobalamine should be given if an anaemic person has large, immature nucleated erythrocytes.
So, the correct answer is 'folic acid and cobalamine'.
