In patients with lymphomas, the cancer cells invade the bone marrow and destroy the environment required for normal hematopoiesis. This leads to bone marrow failure, which disrupts the production of hematopoietic cell lineages. All of the following cell types would be affected by this EXCEPT: A. Red blood cells B. Macrophages C. Lymphocytes D. Endothelial cells E. Granulocytes
