Solution

The correct option is B Do not divide
Because of the lack of nuclei and organelles, red blood cells do not have DNA and therefore cannot synthesize any RNA and consequently cannot divide and have limited repair capabilities.
They are produced in the bone marrow and their life span is about 120 days before being removed by the spleen.
Hence, option D is correct.
