Solution

The correct option is A Neutrophils
Polymorphonuclear leucocytes or granulocytes are a type of white blood cell. They arise from the myeloid cell line in the bone marrow and helps the body to fight infection. PMNs include neutrophils, basophils and eosinophils, which circulate in the bloodstream as well as mast cells, which reside in the tissue. Neutrophils are the most abundant type of WBCs. They are phagocytic in nature and are able to engulf foreign substances (like bacteria) and acts as scavenger.
Thus, the correct answer is option (D), 'Neutrophils'.
