Solution

The correct option is C All of the above
Mature erythrocytes are the only cells which lack a nucleus. They are enucleated. Mature erythrocytes do not have cellular organelles like mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, ribosomes and endoplasmic reticulum in order to accommodate maximum space for haemoglobin. They also do not possess DNA and hence cannot synthesize RNA.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
