Correct answer: D — 100–120 g/L

The best answer is “100–120 g/L”. NICE recommends maintaining haemoglobin between 100 and 120 g/L in adults receiving erythropoiesis-stimulating treatment, with dose adjustment when values move outside the action thresholds. Lower ranges leave clinically important anaemia undertreated, while deliberate normalisation above this range exposes patients to avoidable vascular risk.
