Eosinophils are cells that
A
are chemically attracted to the site of inflammation
B
have digestive enzymes that attack against parasitic worms or other things too large
C
acts like a vasodilator and attracts other cells to that site
D
Facilitate the flow of oxygen through the cells
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -While eosinophils are capable of phagocytosis, it is well known that in order for them to kill large parasites such as Strongyloides sp., they must use alternative mechanisms. Eosinophils rely on secreted mediators-cytotoxic granules-to attack and kill parasites [27–30].

Detailed explanation-2: -Eosinophils have multiple relevant biological functions, including the maintenance of homeostasis, host defense against infectious agents, innate immunity activities, immune regulation through Th1/Th2 balance, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumorigenic effects.

Detailed explanation-3: -Eosinophils are a type of disease-fighting white blood cell. This condition most often indicates a parasitic infection, an allergic reaction or cancer. You can have high levels of eosinophils in your blood (blood eosinophilia) or in tissues at the site of an infection or inflammation (tissue eosinophilia).
