Answer:

C) neutropenia is a serious condition that often leads to sepsis

Explanation:

Neutropenia is a condition in which neutrophil's numbers in the blood get reduced. Neutrophils are one of the most abundant WBC which is present in our blood. So neutrophils play an important role in fighting the infection.

The main cause of neutropenia is chemotherapy so as here the 5-year girl went to chemotherapy which results in neutropenia so due to fewer neutrophils she got the infection from opportunistic pathogen due to which she has high fever and cough. Infection or sepsis is common in neutropenia.
