The correct option is C
Spleen

Spleen

Spleen acts as a filter for blood as part of the immune system. Old red blood cells are recycled in the spleen, and platelets and white blood cells are stored there. This organ is responsible for purifying blood as well as storing blood cells. It is known as the blood bank because its blood reserve can be valuable in case of hemorrhagic shocks.
