Solution

The correct option is C
Thrombocytes

Platelets or thrombocytes are minute, non-nucleated, oval or round structures floating in the blood. They help to form blood clots to slow or stop bleeding and to help wounds heal. If a blood vessel is damaged, thrombocytes mass at the site of the injury and together with clotting agents in the plasma, they form a clot that stops the bleeding.
