The answer is B.

Red blood cells(RBCs) only live for about 120 days. They do not have a nucleus, which is a reason why they don’t live longer.(don’t have the main organelle in cells that has its genetic material,DNA)

Answer:

Answer is B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The fact that B is right eliminates A and D. C is eliminated because RBCs do not have nuclei.
