Solution

The correct option is A Kidney
Erythropoietin is a hormone produced by the kidney that leads to the formation of red blood cells (RBC) in the bone marrow. Its major function is to enable the differentiation and development of red blood cells and to initiate the production of hemoglobin. Thus the correct answer is option A.
