Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The correct answer is (b): Lymph flows through sinuses in a slow manner. The lymph fluid enters a lymph node through afferent lymphatic vessels and moves through the subcapsular sinus. From there, it enters and meanders through a number of small sinuses.
