Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Component II is labeled as "Leukocytes" which are white blood cells. Basophils are the least common type of white blood cells, comprising only about 0.5% of total white blood cells. Therefore, option E, basophils, is the correct answer as it is the blood cell type that normally comprises the smallest percentage of the blood component labeled II in the figure. The other types of white blood cells, including neutrophils, eosinophils, monocytes, and lymphocytes, are more common than basophils.
