What is denoted by the acronym 'RBC'?

Right blood count
Red blood cell
Reactive blood culture
Rapid blood circulation

The correct answer is: Red blood cell

RBC stands for red blood cell. Red blood cells are important components of our blood that help carry oxygen to different parts of our body. Option A, right blood count, is a vague and incorrect term as it does not convey any specific meaning. Option C, reactive blood culture, is also incorrect because a blood culture is a laboratory test used to identify the cause of an infection, while RBC refers to a specific type of blood cell. Option D, rapid blood circulation, is also incorrect as RBC does not refer to the speed of blood circulation, but rather a type of blood cell. It is important to understand the correct terminology and definitions when encountering acronyms to avoid confusion.
