An inherited condition in which erythrocytes rupture or are destroyed at a faster rate than is normal is known as ____
A
aplastic anemia
B
sickle-cell anemia
C
iron-deficiency anemia
D
hemolytic anemia
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -What is hemolytic anemia? Hemolytic anemia is a blood condition that occurs when your red blood cells are destroyed faster than they can be replaced. Hemolytic anemia can develop quickly or slowly, and it can be mild or serious.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hemolytic anemia happens when your red blood cells break down or die faster than they usually do. Red blood cells normally live for about 120 days. When they break down or die sooner than that, your bone marrow doesn’t have time to produce enough new red blood cells, leaving you with a low red blood cell count.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hemolysis can be due to hereditary and acquired disorders. The etiology of premature erythrocyte destruction is diverse and can be due to conditions such as intrinsic membrane defects, abnormal hemoglobins, erythrocyte enzymatic defects, immune destruction of erythrocytes, mechanical injury, and hypersplenism.
