Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Anoxia refers to a condition where there is a complete loss of oxygen supply to a person's body or a specific part of their body. This can lead to tissue damage or death. Other options (blood loss, loss of brain tissue, and fluid loss) may cause anoxia, but they are not the definition of anoxia itself.
