Answer 1

The Indian red cross society is a voluntary humanitarian organization. Its purpose is to protect human life and health in India. Its mission is to provide relief in times of disaster or emergency and promote the health and care of critical communities.

Complete answer:
According to them, the people who are suitable to donate blood are- The age of the donor must be above 18 years and below 65 years of age. The haemoglobin count in the body should not be less than 12.5g/dl. The weight should not be less than 45 kgs.
Looking at the first options, it says that people are not in good health, under the influence of alcohol or drugs.Now, if we consider this sentence, it would be so wrong because no one would like to get drugs injected in them through any means.
The second options say that ladies during menstruation, pregnancy and breastfeeding. Even though it is okay to donate blood during menstruation, any form of blood loss can reduce the iron level in the body and can make you unwell. For pregnant women, it is strictly not eligible as it can cause compromising complications in fetalis health. So, we will not go for this option.
Now the third option is, healthy women but unwed and below the age of 35. Here, this option would have been correct because the women are healthy, however the wedding and age should not have any obligations to donate blood. So, this option is wrong.
Now, the last option says persons who are immunized with live vaccines. This option has no obligations and is perfectly good.

Hence, the correct option is d, that is persons who are immunized with live vaccines.

Note:
It is advised to drink a lot of water before donating blood. The red blood cells are replenished within 48 hours of blood donation. It is also said that donating blood can reduce approximately 650 calories for each point that is 450 ml of blood.
