Solution

The correct option is B Red blood cells
An erythrocyte is a cell containing large amounts of hemoglobin and specialized for oxygen transport. In mammals, erythrocytes are round and biconcave in shape.
They are devoid of nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles. They derive energy through glycolysis and serve as tiny packets of hemoglobin.
Hence the correct option is B.
