Final answer:

The wrong stem cell category match is D. myeloid cell: unipotent. Myeloid cells are a type of blood cell that originate from hematopoietic stem cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

The wrong stem cell category match is D. myeloid cell: unipotent. Myeloid cells are a type of blood cell that originate from hematopoietic stem cells. Hematopoietic stem cells, represented by choice C, are multipotent stem cells that can differentiate into different types of blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
