Solution

The correct option is B
Lymphatic vessels and lymphoid organs

The Lymphatic system is made of three main components - the lymphatic vessels, the lymph, and the lymph nodes.The lymphatic system has multiple interrelated functions. It is responsible for the removal of interstitial fluid from tissues. It absorbs and transports fatty acids and fats as chyle from the digestive system. It transports white blood cells to and from the lymph nodes into the blood, which defend the body against infections.
