Solution

The correct option is B Thalassemia
Thalassemia is a genetic disease. It is passed on from parents to offspring. It is a blood disorder characterised by the body’s inability to make enough of the protein haemoglobin, which is an important part of red blood cells. Haemoglobin is responsible for carrying oxygen to all parts of the body.
