A person is said to be anemic if his body has deficiency of -

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) Red Blood Corpuscles.
· A person is said to be anemic if there is a deficiency of red blood corpuscles (RBCs) or hemoglobin in the blood.
· RBCs are responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body, and hemoglobin within the RBCs binds to oxygen for efficient delivery.
· Anemia results in reduced oxygen-carrying capacity, leading to symptoms like fatigue, weakness, pale skin, and shortness of breath.
Additional Knowledge:
· Calcium and phosphorus: These are essential for bone health but are unrelated to anemia.
· White Blood Corpuscles (WBCs): WBCs are part of the immune system and not related to oxygen transport; deficiency in WBCs affects immunity, not oxygen levels.
· Vitamins: While certain vitamins (like B12 and folic acid) play a role in red blood cell production, deficiency in vitamins alone does not directly cause anemia unless it impacts RBC production.
