What condition develops in sickle cell anemia due to vascular occlusion?

Diabetes
Vaso-occlusive/pain crisis
Hypothyroidism
Leukemia

The correct answer is: Vaso-occlusive/pain crisis

In sickle cell anemia, vaso-occlusive/pain crisis develops due to the abnormal sickle-shaped red blood cells occluding blood vessels. This causes tissue ischemia and pain. The other options are incorrect: A. Diabetes is not a condition that develops directly due to vascular occlusion in sickle cell anemia. C. Hypothyroidism is not associated with vascular occlusion in sickle cell anemia. D. Leukemia is not a condition that develops as a direct result of vascular occlusion in sickle cell anemia.
