The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Erythroblastosis Fetalis**: - Erythroblastosis fetalis is a condition characterized by the destruction of fetal red blood cells (RBCs) due to incompatibility between the blood types of the mother and the fetus. 2. **Identifying the Cause**: - The primary cause of erythroblastosis fetalis is the incompatibility of the Rh factor between the mother and the fetus. The Rh factor can be either positive (+) or negative (-). 3. **Analyzing the Rh Factor Compatibility**: - If the mother is Rh-negative and the fetus is Rh-positive, the mother's immune system may produce antibodies against the fetal RBCs, leading to hemolysis (destruction of RBCs). 4. **Evaluating the Options**: - The question provides four conditions. We need to determine which condition involves a mother being Rh-negative and a fetus being Rh-positive, as this is the scenario that leads to erythroblastosis fetalis. 5. **Selecting the Correct Condition**: - After evaluating the options, the correct condition that causes erythroblastosis fetalis is when the mother is Rh-negative and the fetus is Rh-positive. ### Conclusion: - The condition that causes erythroblastosis fetalis is when the mother is Rh-negative and the fetus is Rh-positive. ---
