Answer 1

Answer: (C)

A- 4, B- 5, C- 2, D- 1, E- 3

The WBC is of two types viz., granulocyte and agranulocytes. The cell which has granule in their cytoplasm is called as granulocytes like neutrophils, basophils and eosinophils. Neutrophils have a nucleus that consists of two or more lobes joined together by hair-like filaments. The eosinophil is a specialised cell and generally has a nucleus with two lobes (i.e., bilobed). Basophils have irregularly shaped nucleus that consists of two-three lobes nucleus. Whereas agranulocytes are those cells which do not have granules in their cytoplasm and make more space for nuclei like monocytes and lymphocytes.
Monocytes have bean-shaped nuclei that are unilobular. The lymphocyte can be identified by their single large nucleus.
Thus, the correct answer is option C
