Solution

The correct option is C Can squeeze through blood capillaries
WBC's are amoeboid in shape due to which they can easily squeeze through the walls of the capillaries at the site of injury by the process known as diapedesis and engulf the damaged cells by phagocytosis. They are nucleated cells and excess of WBCs causes cancer known as leukaemia.
So, the correct answer is option C.
