Solution

The correct option is A RBC
RBCs or erythrocytes in most mammals including humans are devoid of a nucleus. This adaptation helps the RBCs to carry the maximum amount of Hb and hence the maximum amount of oxygen. The lack of a nucleus also gives the RBCs their characteristic biconcave shape and allows them to have a higher surface area for diffusion.
Thus, the correct answer is 'RBC and Erythrocytes.'
