Solution
The correct option is D Bone marrow
The acquired immunity involves two types of cells: B-cells and T-cells.T cells are involved in cell-mediated immunity, whereas B cells are primarily responsible for humoral immunity (relating to antibodies).
Like all blood cells, B(B lymphocyte)- and T-cells9T-lymphocyte) are produced in the bone marrow. B-cells mature in the bone marrow and T-cells travel through the bloodstream to the thymus gland and mature in the thymus gland.
Hence B- and T-cells required for the immune system are produced in Bone marrow.
