Solution

The correct option is B
RBC

The mitochondrion (plural mitochondria) is a double-membrane-bound organelle found in most eukaryotic organisms. Some cells in some multicellular organisms may, however, lack them. The RBC is devoid of mitochondria and some other major organelles so as to increase their oxygen-carrying capacity.
