The correct answer is option D.

Explanation:

Lymph is the fluid that circulates through the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is made up of different lymphatic organs or regions such as lymph vessels and lymph nodes.

This lymphatic system related to various functions such as removal of interstitial fluid from the tissues transports white blood cells to and from different lymph nodes. Lymph is made up of mainly white blood cells that are formed from plasma that collected in the tissues.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
