Solution

The correct option is D Rouleaux
  • Rouleaux (singular is rouleau) are stacks or aggregations of Red blood cells (RBCs) that form because of the unique discoid shape of the cells in vertebrates.
  • The flat surface of the discoid RBCs gives them a large surface area to make contact with and stick to each other; thus forming a rouleau.
  • They occur when the plasma protein concentration is high.
  • Therefore, Option C is the correct answer.
