Solution

The correct option is C
Bacterial infection

The number of white blood cells in the body may be influenced by various factors. However, their number typically increases when the body is infected in some way so that the disease-causing germs could be eliminated. Thus, a higher-than-normal white blood cell count usually indicates some type of infection (bacterial, viral or other pathogens).
