Solution

The correct option is D

Bacterial infection


The neutrophils form 50-60% of the white blood cell composition. They are round cells with a multi-lobed nucleus. An inflammation or infection, elevates the production of neutrophils. Some neutrophils signal other neutrophils and they play an important role in thwarting a bacterial infection. So if the neutrophils content in blood increases, then the infection could be bacterial.
