Answer:

The correct answer is c. production of white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets.

Explanation:

Hematopoiesis is the formation of all types of blood cellular components and components of plasma like white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets by hematopoietic system which involves the bone marrow, liver, and spleen.

First, the hemopoietic stem cell divides into common myeloid progenitor and common lymphoid progenitor. From myeloid progenitor RBC, platelets, basophils, eosinophils, neutrophils, and macrophages are formed.

Common lymphoid progenitor gives rise to T- lymphocytes, B- lymphocytes, and natural killer cells. Therefore the correct answer is c. production of white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets.
