Step-by-step explanation:
In the visual assessment of the turbidity and color of a plasma sample, a turbid and white sample indicates lipemia. Lipemia refers to the presence of a high concentration of lipids in the blood, which makes the plasma appear turbid and milky.
This condition can alter the results of certain laboratory tests and is usually linked with metabolic issues such as hyperlipidemia. It is different from hemolysis which would cause plasma to appear pink to red, and icterus (jaundice), which would give a yellow color to the plasma due to elevated bilirubin levels. So, The correct answer is options 2.
