The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question:** The question asks about the animal that has biconcave, circular, and anucleated red blood cells (RBCs). 2. **Identifying Key Features of RBCs:** - Biconcave shape: This is a characteristic of certain RBCs, allowing for increased surface area for gas exchange. - Anucleated: This means that the RBCs do not have a nucleus, which is a feature found in mature mammalian RBCs. 3. **Analyzing the Types of Animals:** - Mammals: In mammals, the mature RBCs are typically biconcave and lack a nucleus. - Birds (Aves): In birds, the RBCs are nucleated. - Reptiles and Amphibians: Similar to birds, they also have nucleated RBCs. 4. **Considering the Options:** - If the options include animals like birds (e.g., ostrich), reptiles (e.g., crocodile), and mammals (e.g., whale), we need to determine which of these has the characteristics described. - The ostrich, being a bird, would have nucleated RBCs. - The crocodile, being a reptile, would also have nucleated RBCs. - The whale, being a mammal, would have biconcave and anucleated RBCs. 5. **Conclusion:** The animal that has biconcave, circular, and anucleated RBCs is the whale. **Final Answer:** The whale. ---
