Haylie Rubio · Answer 1

Answer: Option C, they digest pathogens

Explanation: Monocytes are involved in the process of digesting pathogens and infected cells, termed as phagocytosis.

Monocytes don't produce antibodies, only B cells can produce antibodies. So, option A and D are incorrect. Also they appear colorless when observed under the microscope. They don't appear granular, so option B is also incorrect.
