    The correct answer is: (B) erythropoietin (EPO) - increases white blood cell production.

    Explanation:

    Erythropoietin is a hormone secreted by the kidney when dealing to cellular hypoxia (low oxygen content on body tissues) to stimulate red blood cell production. This is because red blood cells are the ones that transport oxygen to every tissue in the body.
