A
monocyte
B
eosinophil
C
neutrophil
D
basophil
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Eosinophils have prominent granules that stain readily with the acid dye eosin; and. Basophils have prominent granules that stain readily basic (non acidic) dyes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Eosinophils have a bi-lobed nucleus with large cytoplasmic specific granules that are eosinophilic, staining red to pink.

Detailed explanation-3: -Eosinophils (acidophils) Eosinophils are another type of granulocyte with cytoplasms that contains large granules that generally stain bright red with a red dye eosin, and can also stain with other acid dyes, hence also known as acidophils. The size of eosinophils is similar to that of neutrophils (about 12 m).

Detailed explanation-4: -Eosin is an acidic dye for staining cell cytoplasm, collagen, and muscle fibers. Eosinophilic describes the appearance of cells and structures seen in histological sections that take up the staining dye eosin. Such eosinophilic structures are, in general, composed of protein.
