Match List I with List II. List I (Leucocytes) List II (Characteristics/Functions) A. Neutrophils I. Inflammatory reactions and least abundant B. Basophils II. Immune responses of the body C. Eosinophils III. Most abundant and phagocytic D. Lymphocytes IV. Resist infections and associated with allergic reactions Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Options
- AA-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
- BA-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
- CA-II, B-I, C-IV, D-III
- DA-III, B-II, C-IV, D-I
Correct answer
B. A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
Step-by-step solution
Neutrophils are the most abundant cells (60-65% of total WBCs) and are phagocytic in nature. (A matches III) Basophils are the least abundant (0.5-1%) and are involved in inflammatory reactions by secreting histamine, serotonin, and heparin. (B matches I) Eosinophils (2-3%) resist infections and are associated with allergic reactions. (C matches IV) Lymphocytes (20-25%) are of two major types (B and T forms) and are responsible for the immune responses of the body. (D matches II) Therefore, the correct matching is
