D)Albumin

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Erythropoietin is a hormone that stimulates the production of red blood cells by the bone marrow. Neutrophils are a type of white blood cell involved in the immune response, and albumin is a protein in the blood that helps maintain osmotic pressure. Therefore, the best choice for stimulating red blood cell production specifically is erythropoietin. Erythrocytes are another name for red blood cells, but they are not a component that stimulates their production.
