White blood cells (WBCs) are the immune cells present in the blood. They are of 5 types, namely neutrophils, basophils, eosinophils, monocyte and lymphocytes. Out of these WBCs, neutrophils are the most abundant cells. The monocytes are the largest cells and lymphocytes are the smallest cells. However, from the given options, the smallest WBC cells are neutrophil cells. Their size is 12 to 14 micrometer. The size of eosinophils is 12 to 17 micrometer. The size of basophils is 14 to 16 micrometer. Thus, the correct answer is 'Neutrophil.'
