The correct option is D Monocytes
  • Platelets are the colourless blood cells, which form the blood clot. It stops bleeding by forming plugs in blood vessel injuries.
  • Eosinophils are a type of white blood cells, which are involved in various immune reactions.
  • A basophil is a granulocyte, which is involved in allergic reactions.
  • Monocyte is a type of white blood cell. Monocytes move quickly to the site of infection and divide to macrophages, which then carry out phagocytosis of foreign material.
Therefore, option D is correct.
