The correct answer is (A) – (C) – (E) – (B) – (D).

• Basophils:
  • Basophils are a type of white blood cell and are produced in the bone marrow.
    • They are found in many tissues throughout your body. 
    • It accounts for nearly 25-100 per cubic millimetre in the blood.
• Eosinophils:
  • These cells play a vital role in allergic disorders and in combating parasitic infections.
  • It accounts for nearly 50-250 per cubic millimetre in blood.
• Lymphocytes:
  • The lymphocytes are present in lymph help prevent the body from disease by killing the harmful bacteria.
  • It accounts for nearly 1000-4000 per cubic millimetre in blood.
• Neutrophils:
  • Neutrophils blood cell helps to heal damaged tissues and resolve infections.
  • It accounts for nearly 3,000-7,000 per cubic millimetre in blood.
• Monocytes:
  • Monocytes are produced in the bone marrow and then enter the blood, where they account for about 1 to 10% of the circulating white blood cells - 200 to 600 monocytes cubic millimetre in blood.
