C) Erythrocytes

Accepted Answer

Neutrophils are the most abundant type of phagocyte in the blood and are the first responders to an infection or injury. They can engulf and destroy pathogens, debris, and other foreign substances. Basophils and eosinophils are involved in allergic reactions and parasitic infections, respectively, and erythrocytes are red blood cells that transport oxygen.
