The key is C. Haemoglobin of the donor meets the minimum requirement for donation. [If syncope then we can continue donation giving simultaneous normal saline to the donor.(option D). Option C. Haemoglobin of the donour meets the minimum requirement for donation [as it is routinely done in every doner prior to donation and therefore this has no impact on syncope!!].
