Solution
The correct option is B Neutrophils
White blood cells or leukocytes are large, nucleated, translucent cells, which lack haemoglobin. Neutrophils, basophils and acidophils are granular leucocytes, while monocytes are agranular. Neutrophils are most abundant (40-60%) leucocytes, which serve to phagocytise the pathogens. Basophils (0-1%) serve to secrete histamine and heparin. Eosinophils (1-4%) serve to phagocytise antigen-antibody complexes and allergens. Monocytes (4-8%) are involved in phagocytosis of pathogens and debris.
