Vedclass · Answer

(B) Macrocytic anaemia is primarily caused by a deficiency of Vitamin $B_{12}$ or Folic acid. In this condition,the red blood cells are larger than normal (macrocytic) and often have a lower concentration of haemoglobin. Iron deficiency typically leads to microcytic hypochromic anaemia,not macrocytic anaemia. Therefore,Vitamin $B_{12}$ deficiency is the correct cause for macrocytic anaemia.
