**Question:** In this blood slide, which is a red blood cell?

**Image Description:** The image shows a microscopic view of blood cells. There are numerous round and pale-colored cells, which are red blood cells. Two darker purple-stained cells are present and labeled with arrows.

- **A:** Label A points to a purple-stained cell, which is larger with several lobes. This is indicative of a white blood cell, specifically a type of granulocyte.
  
- **B:** Label B points to a smaller, pale, evenly colored cell. This is a typical red blood cell, which lacks a nucleus and has a uniform shape.

**Answer Options:**

- ○ A
- ○ B

The correct answer is **B**, as it identifies the red blood cell. Red blood cells are typically small, biconcave, and evenly colored without a nucleus, while white blood cells are larger and more irregular in shape with darker staining.
