Solution

The correct option is B False
The lymphatic system being primarily involved in immunity, has a much slower pace of circulation, as compared to blood. This is because, when the actual ‘cleansing’ process happens, the lymph stands still at the lymph nodes. This provides ample time for the B and T cells to identify the pathogens, and also for phagocytic cells to destroy and clean up all the damaged cells and debris.
