Solution

The correct option is B Red blood cell
Red blood cells or erythrocytes are a type of blood cells. They are very simple packets of haemoglobin. They lack a nucleus and other cell organelles, like mitochondria, at maturity. Erythrocytes do not show aerobic respiration and use glycolysis for the synthesis of ATP.
