A
True
B
False
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The lymphatic system is a “one way” system for fluid. The two major cells of the lymph nodes are the T-lymphocytes and “P-Lymphocytes". Those lymph vessels entering the lymph nodes are known as “efferent” lymph vessels.

Detailed explanation-2: -The lymphatic system is a one-way circulatory system (lymph always travels in one direction, towards the heart). It lacks a central pumping mechanism like the heart; instead, contractions of the lymph vessels push lymph through the system.

Detailed explanation-3: -The lymphatic system is part of the immune system. It keeps body fluid levels in balance and defends the body against infections. Lymphatic (lim-FAT-ik) vessels, tissues, organs, and glands work together to drain a watery fluid called lymph from throughout the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -The lymphatic system is a subsystem of the circulatory system in the vertebrate body that consists of a complex network of vessels, tissues, and organs. It helps maintain fluid balance in the body by collecting excess fluid and particulate matter from tissues and depositing them in the bloodstream.
