Solution

The correct option is C Basophil
The basophil is the type of white blood cell which resembles in its properties with the mast cells found in the connective tissue. These cells contain the granules which are released during the reaction with the antigen. Histamine is the vasodilator and the anticoagulant hirudin is released from these cells on degranulation.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
