Solution
The correct option is C Red blood corpuscles
Red blood corpuscles (RBCs) need to carry out a huge function, which is to transport oxygen to every part of the body. As they mature, RBCs lose their cell nuclei, which gives more room for haemoglobin and hence, enables them to carry more oxygen molecules, while still remaining small enough to squeeze through blood capillaries. Since the nucleus is removed, the RBCs would not contain any DNA.
