Solution:

The correct answer is Iron, anaemia, vitamin C.Explanation:Iron is essential for the formation of red blood cells whose deficiency causes anaemia. Vitamin C is needed for the absorption of Iron.Iron is required for the production of blood. Around 70% of your body's iron is found in red blood cells called haemoglobin and muscle cells called myoglobin.Iron-rich foods helps in the maintenance of healthy red blood cells.Anemia is caused by a deficiency of iron in the body. Iron is required by the bone marrow to produce haemoglobin. Your body cannot produce enough haemoglobin for red blood cells if you do not consume enough iron.The most common type of anaemia is iron deficiency anaemia. It happens when your body does not have enough iron to produce haemoglobin. When you don't have enough iron in your blood, the rest of your body doesn't get enough oxygen.Vitamin C enhances iron absorption. It captures non-heme iron and stores it in a form that your body can easily absorb.Citrus fruits, dark green leafy vegetables, bell peppers, melons, and strawberries are all high in vitamin C.
