G-6-P dehydrogenase deficiency is associated with haemolysis of:

1. leucocytes

Correct answer: RBCs

Solution

G6PD deficiency reduces NADPH production, impairing glutathione recycling and leaving cells unable to handle oxidative damage. Red blood cells are especially affected because they depend on this pathway for protection, so they undergo hemolysis.
