Solution

The correct option is C Peyer's patches
Peyer's patches are also called as aggregated lymphoid nodules. They are organized lymphoid nodules. They are usually found in the lowest portion of the small intestine, the ileum, in humans (and not in duodenum and jejunum). Peyer's patches play an important role in immunity. They trap the foreign particles and destroy them.
Hence the correct option is C.
