Solution

The correct option is A

Act as a haempoietic tissue


Hematopoiesis is the formation of the blood cells or corpuscles. As a major lymphoid organ and a central player in the reticuloendothelial system, the spleen retains the ability to produce lymphocytes and, as such, remains a hematopoietic organ.
