Solution
The correct option is B Monocytes
Basophils are granulocytes, i.e., they contain large cytoplasmic granules in the cell nucleus and it stores histamine (a vasodilator), a chemical, which is secreted by the cells. When stimulated, it promotes blood flow to tissues.
Monocytes are a type of WBCs. Monocytes mature in different types of macrophages at different locations.
Acidophils are more commonly called as eosinophils. They are granulocytes that develop during hematopoiesis in the bone marrow.
Neutrophils are the most abundant type of WBCs. They are granulocytes which are phagocytic in nature and are able to engulf foreign substances (like bacteria).Thus, the correct answer is option B.
