Solution

The correct option is C Camel
RBCs of camels have oval shape, unlike those of other mammals, which are circular. This is to facilitate their flow in a dehydrated state. These cells are also more stable in order to withstand high osmotic variation without rupturing, when drinking large amounts of water (20-25 gallons in one drink).
