Answer:

C. Platelets- thrombocytes

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Note, the questions test on the types of cells in the blood tissue.

The blood contains the following blood cells: red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

  • Red blood cells are also known as erythrocytes and are responsible for the transportation of gases and nutrients throughout the body.
  • White blood cells are also known as leukocytes and are part of the body's immune system that protects the body from harmful pathogens and diseases.
  • Platelets are also known as thrombocytes and are responsible for the blood clotting process when blood vessels are injured.
