Solution

The correct option is A Stem cells
Hematopoietic stem cells are found in adult bone marrow, peripheral blood, and umbilical cord blood. They are multipotent, self-renewing progenitor cells that develop into all differentiated blood cells from the lymphoid and myeloid lineages. Antigen presenting cells include dendritic cells, macrophages and B lymphocytes. Thus the correct answer is option A.
