Solution

The correct option is C Erythrocyte
Red blood cells (RBCs), also called erythrocytes, are the animal's principal means of delivering oxygen to the body tissues—via blood flow through the circulatory system. Mature RBCs lack a nucleus and many cellular organelles like mitochondria which increase the efficiency of oxygen transport.
