Answer :

Answer: A. Aplastic anemia results from decreased bone marrow production of RBCs.

Explanation: Aplastic anemia is a condition where the bone marrow fails to produce sufficient amounts of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. This decrease in bone marrow activity leads to a deficiency in these blood cells, causing various symptoms and complications associated with aplastic anemia.
