Solution

The correct option is C Mitochondria
In humans, red blood cells are produced in the bone marrow and released as matured RBCs. They lack a nucleus and mitochondria at maturity. Due to the absence of mitochondria, these cells do not use the oxygen they transport. This oxygen then becomes available to body tissues. Thus, the correct answer is options C.
