Answer:

C. able to relieve hemophilia symptoms.

Explanation:

Hemophilia is a genetic disorder. It is an X-chromosome linked recessive disorder. It is caused by deficiency of functional blood clotting factor VIII. The Functional factor VIII al deficiency may be inherited or arise from spontaneous mutation.

The symptoms of hemophilia can be reduced partially by functional Factor VIII. This will help to counter functional deficiencies in factor VIII in the haemophilic individuals.
