Solution
The correct option is C Red blood cells
Red blood cells are also known as RBCs or erythrocytes. Erythrocytes in mammals are enucleated when mature, meaning that they lack a nucleus and thus have no DNA. Mammalian erythrocytes also lose their other organelles including their mitochondria and produce energy by fermentation, via glycolysis of glucose followed by lactic acid fermentation.
