Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Hemophilia A (factor VIII deficiency), hemophilia B (factor IX deficiency), and hemophilia C (factor XI deficiency) are differentiated from one another using specific factor assays.

DDAVP, which triggers the release of VWF from storage organelles, is used to treat type 1 VWD. It is also useful in type 2A, but it is contraindicated in type 2B.
