Ok so here is the question.

A 49-year-old female presents with pallor and fatigue. Laboratory results reveal a hemoglobin
concentration of 9 gm/dl, hematocrit of 26%, and reticulocyte count of 0.1%. The MCV, MCHC, and ferritin levels are normal. A bone marrow aspirate shows normal cellularity, but the cells of the erythroid series, such as normobloasts, pronormoblasts and later stages, are greatly reduced. The risk of this disease is increased in people with which of the following.

A. Neuromuscular junction disease
B. HIV Infection
C. Chromosomal translocation
D. Chemotherapy
