Answer 1

The correct option is A Leukopenia

• When this happens, immunity is severely lowered and the person is at greater risk of infections.
• Leukaemia is a group of cancers, that begins in the bone marrow and results in high number of abnormal WBCs.
• Anaemia is the decrease in the number of red blood cells (RBCs) or the amount of haemoglobin in the blood.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.
