Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Mast cells are anchored in tissues and participate in inflammation and allergies. Eosinophils also participate in allergies but are not necessarily anchored in tissues. Neutrophils and basophils are not typically involved in allergies or inflammation. Dendritic cells are important for presenting antigens to other immune cells.
