Solution

The correct option is A Immunosuppresant
The thymus gland plays an important role in the immune function of the body by acting as an reservoir for T cells. Thymectomy or removal of the thymus gland in new born does not show any effect. However, the removal of the thymus gland during adulthood will result in suppression of the immune system.
So, the correct option is 'Immunosuppresant'.
