Answer is hemoglobin S.

Explanation:

Hemoglobin S is considered as an abnormal type of hemoglobin which a child can be inherited from the parents. This cause the red blood cells to have distinct shapes from their normal shape. The red blood cells will have a sickle shape which is different from their normal round disk shape.
