Solution

The correct option is A Thymus
The letter T in T-lymphocyte refers to Thymus. 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 thymus.
So, option A is the correct option.
