What condition is characterized by increased WBC?

  1. Thrombocytosis

  2. Leukocytosis

  3. Polycythemia

  4. Leukopenia

The correct answer is: Leukocytosis

Leukocytosis is a condition where there is an increase in the number of white blood cells (WBC) in the body. Thrombocytosis (A) is a condition where there is an increase in platelets, not WBC. Polycythemia (C) is a condition where there is an increase in red blood cells, not WBC. Leukopenia (D) is a condition where there is a decrease in WBC, not an increase.
