Solution

The correct option is C Spleen
The spleen is a lymphoid organ present in the abdomen behind the stomach. It is considered as a part of the circulatory system which is not involved in pumping action because It not only recycles iron but it also stores, recycles and produces red blood cells. The spleen's white pulp processes antibodies and helps remove bacteria from the blood.
So, the correct answer is 'Spleen'.
