Solution

The correct option is B Thymus
The thymus is a primary lymphoid organ and the site of maturation for T cells, the lymphocytes of the adaptive immune system. The thymus increases in size from birth in response to postnatal antigen stimulation, then to puberty and regresses there after.
So, the correct option is 'Thymus'.
