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.
The human body is mostly made up of water (H2O), and there is one oxygen atom in each molecule of water. Note that, although each water molecule also contains two hydrogen atoms, the atomic mass of hydrogen (about 1) is much smaller than the atomic mass of oxygen (about 16). Because of this, hydrogen contributes less to human body mass than oxygen.
