Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: (c) Anaemia
Explanation
Anaemia is a fall in red blood cells (erythrocytes) or in haemoglobin, reducing oxygen transport.
Deficiency of iron, needed to make haemoglobin, causes iron-deficiency anaemia (pallor, fatigue).
Night-blindness is from vitamin A deficiency, not iron.
