Correct answer: B. Thalassaemia
- A. Leucemia
- B. Thalassaemia
- C. Sickle cell anemia
- D. None of these
Explanation
Cooley's anaemia is beta-thalassaemia major, an inherited disorder in which defective beta-globin production causes severe anaemia. Students may choose sickle-cell anaemia because both are inherited haemoglobin disorders, but sickle-cell disease results from abnormal haemoglobin shape rather than reduced beta-globin synthesis.
