1
Understand that leukocytes, or white blood cells, are broadly categorized into cells of the innate immune system and the adaptive immune system.
Recall that the innate immune system includes cells that provide immediate, non-specific defense against pathogens, such as macrophages and neutrophils.
Recognize that B cells are part of the adaptive immune system, which provides a specific response and immunological memory.
Identify which cells from the options belong to the innate immune system: macrophages and neutrophils are innate, while B cells are adaptive.
Conclude that the correct answer includes macrophages and neutrophils as leukocytes of the innate immune system.
