ANS: C
In general, basophilia decrease as the red cell matures (one exception to this: the basophilic normoblast is characteristically more basophilic than its precursor, the pronormoblast). The nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratio actually decreases, the cells become smaller, and nucleoli become less prominent and eventually disappear.
