Solution
The correct option is A Basophils
The blood cells are of three major types they are erythrocytes(RBC), leucocytes(WBC) and platelets. Two main categories of WBCs are granulocytes and agranulocytes. Neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils are different types of granulocytes, while lymphocytes and monocytes are the agranulocytes. When basophils are encountered with allergin they release histamine which causes increased blood flow to damaged tissues, resulting in swelling and inflammation. Hence blood cells involved in inflammatory reactions are Basophils.
