Solution

The correct option is A Liver
Solution: Lymphocytes are a type of White Blood Cells (WBCs) which help the body to fight against infection. In higher vertebrates, lymphocytes are produced in bone marrow. In lower vertebrates, the bone marrow is not well-developed to form lymphocytes. Hence, in lower vertebrates lymphocytes are made in liver.
So the correct answer is "Liver".
