Through the process of hematopoiesis, a blood cell is produced and also called a hematopoietic cell, hemocyte, or hematocyte and found mostly in the blood. Major types of blood cells are red blood cells (erythrocytes), white blood cells (leukocytes), and platelets (thrombocytes).
Eosinophils have granules that are 15-17 micrometers in diameter. The main functions of these granules include phagocytosis, cell killing, antigen presentation, and platelet interactions. These white blood cells contain four cationic proteins - eosinophil cationic protein, eosinophil-derived neurotoxin, major basic protein, and eosinophil peroxidase. Their cytoplasm appears to have large rounded red-orange granules packed in it after staining using eosin dye by the Romanowsky method.
Therefore, option C is the correct answer.
