The correct option is A lymphatic

The lymphatic system comprises of lymphatic vessels, lymph and lymph nodes. The fluid moves out to the interstitial spaces from the blood vessels due to blood pressure.

It transports white blood cells to and from the lymph nodes into blood; these white blood cells defend the body against infections.
