Solution

The correct option is C Erythrocytes
Blood contains three different types of cells: White blood cells (WBCs), Red blood cells (RBCs), and platelets. RBCs have red color due to a pigment called haemoglobin present in them. It carries oxygen.
Hence, RBCs impart a red colour to the blood.
Thus, C is the correct option.
