Solution
The correct option is C Monocytes
Monocytes are a type of leukocytes or white blood cells, which play an important role in immune system. Generally, a low monocyte count is a good sign, and a high count indicates that a problem is present. These monocytes are made in the bone marrow and they spread through the body to connective tissues in one or three days. They can develop into dendritic cells or macrophages. Eosinophils and basophils are also formed in the bone marrow but they do not develop into macrophages.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C), 'Monocytes'.
