Ans:
A

Feedback:

A part of the immune response is the proliferation of neutrophils in response to infectious organisms. Neutrophilia is an increase in immature neutrophils (bands) most commonly seen in acute infections and tissue injuries that promote the accelerated release of neutrophils and their precursors into the circulation. Myeloblasts are not normally found in circulation, and segmented neutrophils would not yet have reached maturity (takes approximately 2 weeks to mature). Myelocytes do not perform phagocytosis.
