Solution

The correct option is B Reticular cells
Macrophages are the type of white blood cells that engulf foreign substances, cancer cells or microbes through phagocytosis. In the lymph nodes, the macrophages are irregularly shaped, fluid-containing spaces that are lined by lymphatic endothelial cells and traversed by fine reticular strands.
