Solution

The correct option is B Diapedesis
  • Haemolysis is the destruction of red blood cells so that the haemoglobin is freed into the surrounding medium.
  • Diapedesis is the migration of blood cells, especially WBCs (leucocytes), through the intact walls of blood vessels into the surrounding tissue to fight foreign agents.
  • Phagocytosis is the process by which phagocytes ingest or engulf other cells or particles.
  • Rouleaux are stacks or aggregations of RBCs, which form because of the unique discoid shape of the cells.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
