The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Granular Leukocytes**: - Granular leukocytes, also known as granulocytes, are a type of white blood cell (WBC) that contain granules in their cytoplasm. Neutrophils are one of the main types of these cells. 2. **Identifying the Function of Granules**: - The granules in neutrophils play a crucial role in the immune response. They contain substances that help in the destruction of pathogens, such as bacteria and fungi. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - The options given are: - A) Ribosomes - B) Polysomes - C) Lysosomes - D) Lysozymes - We need to determine which of these options correctly describes the contents of the granules in neutrophils. 4. **Evaluating Each Option**: - **Ribosomes**: These are involved in protein synthesis and are not related to the granules in neutrophils. - **Polysomes**: These are clusters of ribosomes and also do not relate to the granules. - **Lysosomes**: These contain hydrolytic enzymes, but they are not the same as the granules in neutrophils. - **Lysozymes**: These are specific enzymes that can break down bacterial cell walls and are indeed found in the granules of neutrophils. 5. **Conclusion**: - Based on the analysis, the granules in granular leukocytes like neutrophils are primarily composed of **lysozymes**. Therefore, the correct answer is **D) Lysozymes**. ---
