Correct option is (d) In Megakaryocytes

The BEST explanation: Megakaryocytes simply mean cells with a large nucleus and they are found in the bone MARROW. Normally, there is 1 megakaryocyte for every 10,000 cells of the bone marrow. These megakaryocytes break into SMALLER pieces and give rise to PLATELETS.
