Solution

The correct option is A Mast cells
Mast cells mediate inflammatory responses such as hypersensitivity and allergic reactions. Mast cells secrete a number of different chemical mediators including heparin, histamine, serotonin, interleukins, heparin. Heparin is a mucopolysaccharide or glycosaminoglycan which is an anticoagulant. It is stored in the secretory granules of the mast cells and released into the vasculature at the sites of tissue injury.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
