The answer is the third one: Thrombocytes.

Explanation for each option:

  • Leukocytes: These are white blood cells, which are part of the immune system and help fight infections. This is incorrect for platelets.
  • Erythrocytes: These are red blood cells, responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body. This is incorrect for platelets.
  • Thrombocytes: This is the correct medical term for platelets, which are cell fragments involved in blood clotting.
  • Megakaryocytes: These are large bone marrow cells that produce platelets. While related, this term does not refer to platelets themselves.

In summary, the correct medical terminology for platelets is "Thrombocytes."
