Solution

The correct option is A Upward
The lymph moves in the body through its own vessels from the interstitial spaces to the subclavian veins at the base of the neck. The lymphatic system does not have the heart to pump it in all direction hence it flows in the upward direction only. Its movement depends on the motions of the muscle and joint pumps.
Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
