Final answer:
Hematopoietic stem cells in the body are multipotent. The correct answer is A.
Step-by-step explanation:
A multipotent stem cell has the potential to differentiate into different types of cells within a given cell lineage or small number of lineages, such as a red blood cell or white blood cell. Hematopoietic stem cells in the body are multipotent.
Hematopoietic stem cells are specialized cells responsible for generating various types of blood cells in the body. They fall under the category of multipotent stem cells, which means they have the ability to differentiate into multiple, but limited, cell types. In the case of hematopoietic stem cells, they can give rise to various types of blood cells such as red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, but they are not capable of producing cells from other tissue types. The correct answer is A.
