Leukopenia is defined as a total WBC count less than 4,000 to 4,500 cells/microliter. The options given are 9,000, 6,000, 2,100, and 20,000. The WBC count of 9,000 and 6,000 are within the normal range. The count of 20,000 indicates leukocytosis, an increase in the WBC count. The count of 2,100 is significantly lower than the normal range and falls under the category of leukopenia. Hence, the correct answer is C, 2,100.
