______ are amoeboid (amoeba-like movement, with pseudopodia) that can squeeze out through capillary walls.

Correct option is C

The correct answer is: (c) White blood cells
Explanation:
· White blood cells (WBCs) exhibit amoeboid movement due to the presence of pseudopodia.
· This allows them to migrate through capillary walls into tissues—a process called diapedesis.
· WBCs are essential for immune defense, targeting pathogens and infected cells.
Information Booster:
· WBCs are also called leukocytes.
· They are part of the immune system.
· Diapedesis helps them reach infection sites.
· WBCs are fewer in number compared to RBCs.
· Types: neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils.
· Produced in bone marrow.
Additional Information:
· Red blood cells: Carry oxygen; do not show amoeboid movement.
· Guard cells: Found in plant leaves, regulate stomatal opening.
· Nerve cells: Transmit electrical signals; no pseudopodia.
· White blood cells: True immune defenders with pseudopodia-based mobility.
