Solution

The correct option is B Red blood cell
RBC do not contain cell organelles(such as mitochondria) or nucleus. As a result of not containing mitochondria, red blood cells use none of the oxygen they transport; instead, they produce the energy carrier ATP by the glycolysis of glucose and lactic acid fermentation on the resulting pyruvate.

So, the correct answer is 'Red blood cell'.
