Solution

The correct option is B Neutrophil, monocyte and macrophage
Among the White blood cells (WBCs) four cells have the phagocytic ability. The neutrophils, monocytes, eosionophils and basophils. The basophils and the eosinophils have very less phagocytic ability when compared to the phagocytic ability of neutrophils and monocytes. When monocytes leave the blood and enter tissue spaces they grow and modify to form macrophages which still have the phagocytic ability. Thus, the correct option is B.
