The correct answer to this question is A, Pelger-Huet Cell. Also known as the Pelger-Huet anomaly, it is a blood condition which is inherited in both a dominant and co-dominant manner. Pelger-Huet Cells are the result of white blood cells having unusual shapes and structures. They are normally peanut or dumbell shapped and are lumpy.

These cells are caused by mutations is the LBR gene.These mutations are the cause of symptons such as isolated PHA, Hydrops, Ectopic calcification, and moth-eaten skeletal dysplasia. Most with this condition are healthy and many with it have no symptons, which is why the condition doesn't require any treatment.
