Answer 1

The correct option is B In old age,thymosins production is more so immunity is strong

The hormone that is released from the thymus is called thymosin. They are involved in the synthesis of T-cells. Hence, these hormones are involved in cell-mediated immunity. They also modulate the production of antibodies in a person. The thymus reduces in size with age and so does the release of thymosin. Thymosin has also been reported to be released from some other organs.

So, the correct answer is 'B, In old age, thymosins production is more so immunity is strong'.
