Solution

The correct option is D
thymus gland

T lymphocytes originate in the bone marrow and mature in the thymus gland. In the thymus, T cells multiply and differentiate into different types of T cells or become memory T cells. These T cells are then circulated in the blood or lymphatic system, which gets activated when an antigen appears and kills it.
