Solution

The correct option is C
Monocytes

Monocytes are a type of non-granular white blood cells that ingest germs and hence, fight certain infections, helping with immunity. They possess a single large kidney-shaped nucleus. Lymphocytes are also a type of non-granular WBCs. However, they possess a single large more or less rounded nucleus. Erythrocytes are red blood cells. Granulocytes refer to those WBCs that possess granules, including eosinophils, basophils and neutrophils.
