Solution

The correct option is D Thymus
Lymphocytes interacts with antigens in the peripheral lymphoid organs, such as lymph nodes and spleen.

The B cells develop in the bone marrow and the T cells develop in the thymus therefore these are known as the primary lymphoid organs.

Hence thymus is the place where the lymphocytes are produced but they do not differentiate into antigen sensitive lymphocytes here.
