a. Increase in surface area due to lipid gain
b. Decrease in surface area due to lipid loss
c. Weakening of skeletal protein
d. All of the above

Target cells (or codocytes) are red blood cells with a characteristic bullseye appearance. They are formed due to a combination of factors:
- Increase in surface area due to lipid gain: This can lead to an excess of membrane relative to the volume of the cell.
- Decrease in surface area due to lipid loss: This can also affect the cell’s shape and structure.
- Weakening of skeletal protein: This can lead to a loss of membrane integrity, contributing to the formation of the target cell shape.
All these factors can contribute to the formation of target cells.so the option is answer d all of these
