Solution

The correct option is D Macrophage
Scavenger cell of connective tissue proper is the macrophage. Macrophages are a type of white blood cell that engulfs and digests cellular debris, foreign substances, microbes, and cancer cells in a process called phagocytosis. They are found essentially in all tissues where they patrol for potential pathogens with their amoeboid movement.
Hence the correct option is D.
