Answer»

Right ANSWER is (B) Ficoll

For explanation: Ficoll is a neutral, highly branched, high-mass, HYDROPHILIC polysaccharide which dissolves readily in aqueous solutions. Ficoll is part of Ficoll-Paque, which is used in biology laboratories to separate BLOOD to its components (erythrocytes, leukocytes, ETC.). Ficoll-Paque is normally placed at the bottom of a conical tube, and blood is then slowly layered above Ficoll-Paque.
