  • D Basophil ✔ ✖
Correct Answer: Option D

Explanation

Basophils are a type of white blood cell that are part of the immune system. Unlike macrophages, neutrophils, and eosinophils, basophils do not perform phagocytosis, which is the process of engulfing and destroying foreign particles and microorganisms. Instead, basophils are involved in the inflammatory response and the release of histamine, which helps to protect the body from infection.
