Solution

The correct option is C Neutrophils
WBCs (White blood cells) can be granulocytes or agranulocytes.
Granulocytes are of three types:
  • Eosinophils: These make about 1 - 5% of total leucocytes.
  • Basophils: These make about 0.5 - 2.7% of total leucocytes.
  • Neutrophils: These make about 60 - 70% of total leucocytes.
Agranulocytes are of two types:
  • Lymphocytes: These make about 20 - 40% of total leucocytes.
  • Monocytes: These make about 2 - 7% of total leucocytes.
So, the correct answer is 'Neutrophils'.
