    The correct answer is "profound red cell hemolysis"

    An Rh negative mother that has been sensitized means that the mother developed anti-Rh antibodies therefore these antibodies will attack the red blood cells of the Rh positive fetus as this fetus has the Rh antigen on his or her red blood cell. This will cause profound red cell hemolysis.
