Explanation:

Neutrophils are the most abundant type of white blood cells. They are the first responders to bacterial infections. They engulf and destroy bacteria through a process called phagocytosis. An increase in their number is a common sign of a bacterial infection in the body. Monocytes are also white blood cells but are more involved in chronic infections and immune responses. Erythrocytes are red blood cells responsible for oxygen transport. Basophils are involved in allergic reactions. Eosinophils are mainly associated with parasitic infections and allergic responses.

neutrophils
