The abbreviation 'CBC' refers to?

  1. Central Brain Control

  2. Complete Blood Count

  3. Chronic Bronchitis Condition

  4. Cardio-Breath Cycle

The correct answer is: Complete Blood Count

Out of the four choices, only B accurately represents the meaning of the abbreviation CBC. A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not align with the commonly used abbreviation in the medical field. A is incorrect because there is no such term as "Central Brain Control". C is incorrect as CBC does not stand for "Chronic Bronchitis Condition", rather this condition is usually abbreviated as "CBC". Similarly, D is incorrect since CBC does not refer to "Cardio-Breath Cycle" and there is no such commonly used abbreviation in the medical field. It is important to understand and correctly interpret medical abbreviations in order to communicate effectively in a medical setting.
