Answer: D) B cell

Explanation: Phagocytes include neutrophils, macrophages, and dendritic cells (DCs), and they have the ability to engulf and digest relatively large particles.

B cells, on the other hand, are involved in antibody production and are classified as lymphocytes. They are professional antigen-presenting cells (APCs) that play a critical role in the immune system.
