• C. Lymph has more CO₂ and metabolic wastes.
• D. Lymph helps in transport of essential nutrients and O_2.

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Lymph helps in transport of essential nutrients and O_2.

Lymph along with blood is also involved in transportation. Through the pores present in the walls of capillaries some amount of plasma, proteins and blood cells escape into intercellular spaces in the tissues to form the tissue fluid or lymph. It is similar to the plasma of blood but colorless and contains less protein and carries more carbon dioxide and lymphocytes.
