Explanation
"White blood cells" (also known as leukocytes) are a crucial component of the immune system and are responsible for defending the body against infectious diseases and foreign invaders."Red blood cells" and "platelets" are involved in the transportation of oxygen and clotting of blood respectively, but do not play a direct role in the defense system. "Plasma" is the blood's liquid component containing various proteins, hormones, and nutrients. White blood cells conduct their defense activities by ingesting foreign materials and cellular debris, destroying infectious agents and cancer cells, or producing antibodies.
