Solution

The correct option is C Neutrophils, basophils and eosinophils
WBCs can be classified based on the presence of granules as granulocytes and agranulocytes.

Granulocytes are types of white blood cells that have cytoplasmic granules. In addition to their distinctive cytoplasmic granules, they have non-spherical nuclei with lobes. Based on the type of stains they take up, granulocytes can be classified into neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils. Hence, neutrophils, eosinophils and basophils are granulocytes.

Whereas lymphocytes and monocytes are agranulocytes. Macrophages are formed from the monocytes.
