Answer 2

The correct option is- d) all of the above.

• Lymph is a colourless fluid that flows throughout the lymphatic system. It is made up of white blood cells and some proteins.
• In composition, it is similar to blood plasma as its contents are exchanged with blood plasma but it contains very few proteins.
• The main function of lymph is that it prevents the attack of harmful microbes and thus, protects the body from diseases. It also helps in the transport of nutrients to different parts of the body and removes cellular waste materials.
