Best answer

Answer: 4. B and C only

Key idea: Recall the properties of basophils.

  • A is wrong: neutrophils are the most abundant WBCs, basophils are the least.
  • B is correct: basophils secrete histamine, serotonin and heparin.
  • C is correct: they take part in inflammatory responses.
  • D is wrong: kidney-shaped nuclei belong to monocytes; basophils have a lobed (bilobed) nucleus.
  • E is wrong: basophils are granulocytes.

B and C only is option 4.
