    A. Going though chemotherapy.
    Explanation
    Chemotherapy is a commonly used treatment strategy for leukemia, a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. It involves the use of powerful drugs to kill cancer cells and prevent their growth. Chemotherapy can be administered orally or through injections, and it aims to destroy leukemia cells throughout the body. This treatment option is often combined with other therapies such as radiation or stem cell transplantation to increase its effectiveness. While going to the dentist and getting glasses may be important for overall health, they are not specific strategies for treating leukemia.

    Correct Answer
    B. Bleeding and bruising easily.
    Explanation
    Leukemia is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow. One of the main effects of leukemia is that it impairs the body's ability to produce healthy blood cells, including platelets responsible for clotting. As a result, individuals with leukemia may experience bleeding and bruising easily, as their blood is unable to clot properly. The other options mentioned, not being able to see and not being able to drive, are not directly associated with the effects of leukemia.

    Exposure to smoking or being around people who smoke increases the risk of developing leukemia. Cigarette smoke contains harmful chemicals that can damage DNA and disrupt the normal functioning of cells, potentially leading to the development of cancer, including leukemia. Secondhand smoke, which is the smoke exhaled by smokers or emitted from burning tobacco products, is also known to be carcinogenic and can contribute to the development of leukemia in non-smokers. Therefore, it is important to avoid smoking and limit exposure to secondhand smoke to reduce the risk of leukemia.
