Solution

The correct option is B Leucocytes
Leucocytes or the white blood cells are concerned with immunity. They perform phagocytosis, antigen-presenting, the release of antibodies, release of cytokines, opsonization etc. to keep the immunity of the body against the pathogens. Erythrocytes or the red blood cells are responsible for the transportation of oxygen. Thrombocytes or the platelets are responsible for blood clotting.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Leucocytes'.
