Which best compares and contrasts red blood cells and white blood cells?

Both red blood cells and many white blood cells are produced in the red bone marrow. Red blood cells contain hemoglobin and transport oxygen, while white blood cells help defend the body against disease. Choice A correctly compares where they are produced and distinguishes their main functions; white blood cells do not carry all blood components, and neither cell type is made of hemoglobin.
