Answer: C) Iron-deficiency anemia

Explanation:

Iron anemia or deficiency of iron is a condition in which blood lacks adequate amount of healthy red blood cells. In this condition the body does not contain enough iron so as to produce hemoglobin. The blood loss from the body, inability of the body to absorb the iron from the food, pregnancy all can also be the cause of iron- deficiency anemia. For the identification of this condition the blood can be seen in the stool,brittle nails, weakness, extreme fatigue, and pale skin can be looked upon.

Thus C is the correct option.

What is the difference between a solar flare and solar wind?
mezya [45]

The biggest difference is the cause. The solar wind is a constant flow of particles from the sun's corona due to their high energy gained from the sun's interior, it's like being boiled off. CME's and flares are the result of “explosive” releases of energy from the sun's magnetic field. Solar flares and solar winds originate within the sun's atmosphere, but differ greatly from one another. Satellites on Earth and in outer space allow a look at solar flares, but you cannot see solar winds directly. However, the effects of solar winds reaching Earth appear to the naked eye when the aurora borealis and aurora australis electrify the night sky.
