he correct answer is A. Sickle cell disease.
Sickle cell disease is a genetic disorder that affects hemoglobin production, causing red blood cells to be misshapen and break down more easily. Physical exertion, especially in high-intensity contact sports like football, can increase the risk of sickling crises, which can be life-threatening.
