Eosinophils: bacterial macrophage would not match with its function.

Step-by-step explanation:

The blood is divided into three parts namely RBC, WBC and blood platelets. WBC is further classified as Neutrophils, Eosinophils, Basophils, Lymphocytes, and Monocytes based upon the function preformed by them. The functions performed by them are as follows:

  • Neutrophils – They are involved in killing harmful bacteria.
  • Eosinophils – They protect the body form parasitic infection.
  • Basophils – It is involved in allergic response and reaction causes inflammation due to the interaction.
  • Lymphocytes – It exerts against viral infection.
  • Monocytes – It is involved in formation of macrophages.

The correct answer is option eosinophil: bacterial macrophage

Eosinophil is responsible for defense against parasitic infections and few are involved in organ formation.
