Best answer
Correct option is (c) WASP

To explain I would say: Mammalian cells have a family of proteins (WASP/WAVE family) that activates Arp 2/3 complex at the site of stimulation near the plasma membrane. Patients of Wiscott-Aldris syndrome lack the functional WASP protein in their white blood cells.
