The answer is the fourth one (anisocytosis): a condition characterized by a great inequality in the size of red blood cells.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Elliptocytosis: This refers to a condition where red blood cells are elliptical in shape rather than the normal biconcave disk shape. It does not specifically refer to inequality in size.
  2. Normocytic: This term describes red blood cells that are of normal size. It does not indicate any inequality in size.
  3. Macrocytosis: This condition is characterized by larger than normal red blood cells. While it indicates a size difference, it does not specifically refer to a great inequality in size.
  4. Anisocytosis: This term specifically refers to a condition where there is a significant variation in the size of red blood cells, indicating a great inequality in their sizes.

Summary: Anisocytosis is the correct term for a condition characterized by a great inequality in the size of red blood cells.
