Solution

The correct option is C

Basophils


Basophils are a type of white blood cell. White blood cells work to keep you healthy by fighting off viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Basophils appear in many specific kinds of inflammatory reactions, particularly those that cause allergic symptoms. Basophils contain anticoagulant heparin, which prevents blood from clotting too quickly. They also contain the vasodilator histamine, which promotes blood flow to tissues.
