Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
Both vitamin B12 deficiency and iron deficiency anemia are associated with decreased hematopoiesis. Vitamin B12 is essential for DNA synthesis in red blood cell production, and iron is a critical component of hemoglobin. Deficiencies in either can lead to reduced red blood cell production.
