What are the three clinical stages of leukemia?

1. Fever, fatigue, infection

2. Bleeding, fatigue, infection

3. Fever, weight loss, night sweats

4. Hair loss, infection, bleeding

The correct answer is: Bleeding, fatigue, infection

The three clinical stages of leukemia are indicative of the progression of the disease and are categorized as acute, accelerated, and chronic. Option A (fever, fatigue, infection) and C (fever, weight loss, night sweats) are incorrect because they are symptoms of leukemia, but they do not accurately represent the stages of the disease. Option D (hair loss, infection, bleeding) is incorrect because hair loss is not a common symptom of leukemia. Bleeding, fatigue, and infection, as mentioned in Option B, are commonly associated with the later stages of the disease.
