Solution

The correct options are
A

Biconcave


B

Oxygen-carrying


D

Lacks a nucleus


In humans, mature red blood cells are circular, biconcave disc-shaped cells. Such a design enables easy passage through the capillaries. Moreover, since their most important role is to carry oxygen (with the help of the haemoglobin in them), they even lack a cell nucleus and most organelles. This enables them to reserve the maximum possible amount of space for haemoglobin.
