The lymph organ that programs T cells and functions primarily during childhood and adolescence is the
A
spleen
B
thymus
C
tonsils
D
appendix
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -As part of your lymphatic system, your thymus gland produced special white blood cells called T-cells that help your immune system. Most of your T-cells matured by the time you hit puberty, and they should help protect you against disease and infection for life. Rarely, conditions related to the thymus can occur.

Detailed explanation-2: -THE THYMUS IS A PRIMARY LYMPHOID ORGAN ESSENTIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF T LYMPHOCYTES WHICH ORCHESTRATE ADAPTIVE IMMUNE RESPONSES.

Detailed explanation-3: -Thymus. The thymus is located behind the breastbone above the heart. This gland-like organ reaches full maturity only in children, and is then slowly transformed to fatty tissue. Special types of immune system cells called thymus cell lymphocytes (T cells) mature in the thymus.

Detailed explanation-4: -Before birth and throughout childhood, the thymus is instrumental in the production and maturation of T-lymphocytes or T cells, a specific type of white blood cell that protects the body from certain threats, including viruses and infections.

Detailed explanation-5: -The primary lymphoid organs are the red bone marrow, in which blood and immune cells are produced, and the thymus, where T-lymphocytes mature. The lymph nodes and spleen are the major secondary lymphoid organs; they filter out pathogens and maintain the population of mature lymphocytes.
