Solution
The correct option is B Bone marrow, thymus
Lymphocytic cells are formed from the lymphoid progenitor cells present in the bone marrow, which leads to the formation of both T and B-cells. T-cells originate in the bone marrow but migrate to the thymus gland for maturation. Hence they are also called thymus-dependent lymphocytes.
