Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Erythropoiesis is the process by which red bone marrow produces red blood cells. Erythrocytes are the resulting red blood cells, but they are not the process by which they are produced. Leukocytes are white blood cells, and leukopoiesis is the process by which they are produced, but it is not responsible for the production of red blood cells.
