A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Tissue fluid is formed from the plasma by process of diffusion and filtration. This fluid occupies the intracellular space and forms the connecting link in the transport of nutrition, gases and the metabolic end products between blood capillaries, tissue cells and the lymph.

Detailed explanation-2: -Oxygen diffuses through the capillary wall, into the tissue fluid and the cells. Carbon dioxide diffuses from the cells into the tissue fluid, then across the capillary walls into the blood plasma .

Detailed explanation-3: -One of the lymphatic system’s major jobs is to drain extra lymph (LIMF) fluid from body tissues and return it to the blood. Lymph contains white blood cells called lymphocytes (LIM-fuh-sites) and chyle (KYE-ul), which is made of fats and proteins from the intestines.
