This condition is known as Iron-Deficiency Anaemia. Other options (for context) Iodine: Its deficiency causes goitre, not anaemia. Vitamin: Certain vitamins like B₁₂ and folic acid deficiency can cause anaemia, but the most common cause is lack of iron. None of these: Incorrect — iron deficiency is the main cause of anaemia.
