Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Iron deficiency
A
Megaloblastic anemias
B
Hemolytic anemias
C
Hypoproliferative anemias
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hemolytic anemia is a class of anemia that is caused by the destruction of red blood cells, increased hemoglobin catabolism, decreased levels of hemoglobin, and an increase in efforts of bone marrow to regenerate products.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pyruvate kinase deficiency is an inherited lack of the enzyme pyruvate kinase, which is used by red blood cells. Without this enzyme, red blood cells break down too easily, resulting in a low level of these cells (hemolytic anemia).

Detailed explanation-3: -As the name implies, iron deficiency anemia is due to insufficient iron. Without enough iron, your body can’t produce enough of a substance in red blood cells that enables them to carry oxygen (hemoglobin). As a result, iron deficiency anemia may leave you tired and short of breath.
