A
Lymph capillary has blind-ended
B
Lymph capillary is continously
C
Lymph capillary wall is thick
D
Lymph capillary is green in colour
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lymphatic capillaries are similar to blood capillaries, but they are larger in diameter and have closed ends. Unlike blood capillaries, fluid can flow into lymph capillaries but can’t flow out through the cell walls. It can only move forward.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lymphatic capillaries are very thin vessels which are blind-ended tubes. These lacteals have a thickness of a single cell, but the cells are arranged in an overlapping manner so that the fluid from the outside can enter it with relative ease.

Detailed explanation-3: -Lymph vessels are thin walled tubes that, similar to blood vessels, carry white blood cells, fluids and waste. Unlike veins and arteries, however, lymph vessels do not carry red blood cells and their main function is to remove excess fluid from tissues.
