The correct option is D

Thymus Gland


Lymphocytes are types of white blood cells (WBCs) that have the ability to destroy harmful bacteria and pathogens. They are of two types, B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes. B lymphocytes mature in the bone marrow whereas T lymphocytes are produced in the bone marrow but mature in the thymus gland. Both the lymphocytes recognize and destroy any pathogen that enters the bloodstream.
