Solution

The correct option is A Less than 10 days
WBC are also known as leucocytes. Their number is much less than RBC. It provides defence mechanism to the body against infection. They are formed in bone marrow and their life span is also very short which is usually less than 10 days, although it differs for each leucocyte. Hence, option B is correct.
