• B. Only IV
• C. II and III
• D. III and IV

Answer 1

The correct option is A Only I

The fluid present in the lymphatic system is called the lymph. Lymph is a colourless fluid containing specialised lymphocytes which are responsible for the immune responses of the body.
Lymph is also an important carrier for nutrients, hormones, etc. Fats are absorbed through lymph in the lacteals present in the intestinal villi.

Lymph does not contain RBC, in higher animals the respiratory pigment haemoglobin is contained only in the RBC and does not occur dispersed in body fluids. Therefore, statement i is wrong.
So, the correct answer is 'i only'
