Solution

The correct option is B Spleen
The spleen is a secondary lymphoid organ which is involved in filtering and destroying senescent red blood cells (RBCs), infectious micro-organisms and Plasmodium-parasitized RBCs. Infection by malaria is the most common cause of the spleen rupture and enlargement of the spleen (splenomegaly).
So, the correct answer is option C.
