Solution

The correct option is A Erythropoietin
Erythropoietin is the hormone which is produced by the cells of juxtaglomerular apparatus of the kidney and has an effect on the bone marrow. The hormone stimulates bone marrow for the formation of red blood cells (RBC). Its major function is to enable the differentiation and development of red blood cells and to initiate the production of haemoglobin. The addition of this hormone to stem cells in artificial culture will allow the differentiation and formation of red blood cells.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
