Which condition might require the use of iron supplements?

  1. Diabetes

  2. Asthma

  3. Cancer

  4. Anemia

The correct answer is: Anemia

Iron supplements are typically used for individuals with low levels of iron, particularly those with iron-deficiency anemia. This condition is caused by a lack of iron in the body, leading to a decrease in the production of red blood cells and oxygen-carrying capacity. Diabetes, asthma, and cancer may require different types of supplements or treatments, but they do not necessarily directly affect iron levels in the body. Therefore, they would not be the correct answer in this scenario.
