Solution

The correct option is C Thymus gland
T-lymphocytes are produced in bone marrow but differentiated in thymus glands. T lymphocytes play a central role in cell-mediated immunity. They can be distinguished from other lymphocytes, such as B cells and natural killer cells by the presence of a T-cell receptor on the cell surface. They are called T cells because they mature in the thymus.
