Explanation:

Anemia is a condition where the blood has a reduced ability to carry oxygen. This is often due to a low red blood cell count or a deficiency in hemoglobin (the molecule in red blood cells that binds to oxygen).

• A. Angioplasty: This is a medical procedure (not a condition) used to widen narrowed or blocked blood vessels.
• B. Hemophilia: It is a genetic disorder that impairs the body's ability to form blood clots, leading to excessive bleeding.
• C. Sickle - cell: Sickle - cell disease is a type of anemia (so if this was an option with more context, it could be relevant, but in the given options, anemia is a more general term for the described condition).
• D. Anemia: Directly matches the description of a condition that reduces the blood's oxygen - carrying capacity.

Answer:

D. Anemia
