Solution

The correct option is A 1 trillion
A lymphocyte is one of the subtypes of white blood cell in a vertebrate's immune system. Lymphocytes include natural killer cells (which function in cell-mediated, cytotoxic innate immunity), T cells (for cell-mediated, cytotoxic acquired immunity), and B cells (for humoral, antibody-driven adaptive immunity). The total number of lymphocytes present in healthy humans is approximately 1 trillion.
So, the correct answer is '1 trillion'.
