Solution

The correct option is C

Erythrocyte


Red blood cells (RBCs), also called erythrocytes, are the principal means of delivering oxygen to the body tissues via blood flow through the circulatory system. Mature RBCs lack nucleus and many cellular organelles like mitochondria which increase the efficiency of oxygen transport.
