Answer»

Correct ANSWER is (c) RBC

Explanation: The erythrocytes have no NUCLEUS. They are responsible for carrying OXYGEN from the lungs to the tissues and carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs. Anaemia (reduction in the oxygen carrying capacity of blood) can develop from a CHANGE in the number, volume or Hb concentration of erythrocytes, caused by bone marrow dysfunction resulting in the poor production rate of RBCs.
