Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

The ‘Thala test’ is done for the confirmation of Thalassaemia, a blood disorder passed down through families (inherited) in which the body makes an abnormal form or inadequate amount of hemoglobin.

Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen.

The disorder results in excessive destruction of red blood cells, which leads to anemia.

So, the correct answer is D: Thalassaemia.
