A
Within the lymph vessels
B
In between cells
C
In the lymph nodes
D
In the veins
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Fluid found in the spaces around cells. It comes from substances that leak out of blood capillaries (the smallest type of blood vessel). It helps bring oxygen and nutrients to cells and to remove waste products from them.

Detailed explanation-2: -The interstitial fluid is the water or fluid that is present in the small spaces between cells that bathes and surrounds all the body cells except blood cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Interstitial fluid is the body fluid between blood vessels and cells, containing nutrients from capillaries by diffusion and holding waste products discharged by cells due to metabolism.

Detailed explanation-4: -The interstitial space that lies between blood vessels and cells provides the fluid and structural environment surrounding those cells. Under most conditions in most tissues, fluid from the vascular space continually filters from the microvessels into the interstitial space and is not reabsorbed (1).

Detailed explanation-5: -Interstitial fluid is a biological fluid present between the cells and tissues, comprising a similar composition to that of the plasma [79].

Detailed explanation-6: -So, the cytosol and organelles together form the cytoplasm. The extracellular fluid (ECF) refers to the fluids present outside the cells. The ECF is further divided into the fluid inside vessels and fluid outside vessels. Inside the vessels would be the plasma and outside is the interstitial fluid.

Detailed explanation-7: -Lymph, also called lymphatic fluid, is the extra interstitial fluid that drains from your body’s cells and tissues. The fluid is watery and colorless. Lymph includes substances such as: Cancer cells.
