ANS: D
It requires about 10 minutes for complete lysis of RBCs in the WBC Unopette. If this time is shortened, then red cells may still be intact and therefore visible when the chamber is examined under the microscope. It will be almost impossible to count the white cells because their relative number is so small compared with that of the red cells.
