Answer 1

The correct option is C Hematopoietic stem cells

Blood is fluid connective tissue made of plasma and formed elements (blood cells). Erythropoiesis is the formation of red blood cells from stem cells. Leucopoiesis is the process of formation of stem cells into white blood cells. Blood cells are produced by the hematopoietic stem cells present in the bone marrow. Hematopoiesis is the development of blood cells from hematopoietic stem cells.
