Answer:
Correct Answer: D
Solution:
Total count of RBC refers to the total number of red blood corpuscles (erythrocytes) present in one microlitre of the blood.
It averages 5 million and 4.5 million in adult men and women respectively.
Total count of RBC comes out to be very low in condition of anaemia and after profuse bleeding.
On the contrary, polycythemia is the condition which arises due to the abnormal rise in the total count of RBC.
