Erythropoiesis is
A
Lack of oxygen in the cell
B
the production of blood cells
C
the lack of plasma due to dehydration
D
the destruction of blood cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Erythropoiesis is red blood cell (erythrocyte) production. Your bone marrow makes most of your red blood cells. Once they’re fully mature, they’re released into your bloodstream, where they transport oxygen throughout your body.

Detailed explanation-2: -The formation of red blood cells in blood-forming tissue. In the early development of a fetus, erythropoiesis takes place in the yolk sac, spleen, and liver. After birth, all erythropoiesis occurs in the bone marrow.

Detailed explanation-3: -Red blood cell (RBC) production (erythropoiesis) takes place in the bone marrow under the control of the hormone erythropoietin (EPO).

Detailed explanation-4: -During erythropoiesis, hemoglobin (Hb) synthesis increases from early progenitors to mature enucleated erythrocytes. Although Hb is one of the most extensively studied proteins, the role of Hb in erythroid lineage commitment, differentiation, and maturation remains unclear.
