Solution

The correct option is B Platelets
The platelets are formed by fragmenting from cells found in bone marrow called as megakaryocytes, and similar to red blood cells, they do not have a nucleus. The average lifespan of a platelet is normally just 5 to 9 days.
Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
