Solution

The correct option is B Removal of thymus gland
Thymectomy is the process in which the thymus gland is removed.
Thymus gland is responsible for T-cell differentiation. The gland is recommended to be removed in the cases of people suffering from Myasthenia gravis.
This is a disorder in which the skeletal muscles are affected.
The removal of this gland prevents the production of the antibodies against the acetylcholine receptors and thus, the transmission of the impulses is stopped.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
