Solution

The correct option is C Thymosin - Thymus - Helps in differentiation of T - Lymphocyte
The thymus gland, located behind the sternum and between lungs, is only active until puberty. After puberty, the thymus starts to slowly shrink and become replaced by fat. Thymosin is the hormone of the thymus, and it stimulates the differentiation of disease-fighting T cells.
So, the correct answer is 'Thymosin - Thymus - Helps in the differentiation of T - Lymphocyte'.
