(B) Erythroblastosis foetalis is a hemolytic disease of the newborn.It occurs when an $Rh$-negative mother carries an $Rh$-positive fetus.During the first pregnancy,the mother's blood is exposed to the $Rh$ antigens of the fetus,leading to the formation of anti-$Rh$ antibodies in her blood.In subsequent pregnancies with an $Rh$-positive fetus,these antibodies can cross the placenta and destroy the fetal red blood cells,causing severe anemia and jaundice.Therefore,it is caused by the incompatibility or disadjustment of the $Rh$ factor.
