The correct answer is option 4, Leukaemia. Blood cancer is commonly known as Leukaemia. It is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow, where blood is produced. Leukaemia causes the production of abnormal white blood cells, which crowd out the healthy blood cells and reduce the ability of the blood to carry out its normal functions.

Option 1, Anaemia, is not the correct answer. Anaemia is a condition where there is a decrease in the number of red blood cells or a decrease in the amount of hemoglobin in the blood.

Option 2, Polycythemia, is not the correct answer. Polycythemia is a condition characterized by an increase in the number of red blood cells in the blood.

Option 3, Leucopenia, is not the correct answer. Leucopenia is a condition where there is a decrease in the number of white blood cells in the blood.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 4, Leukaemia.
