• A network of tissues and organs forms the lymphatic system. It is made up of the following:
• Lymph a fluid that contains white blood cells that defends against germs.
• The function of lymph vessels is to carry lymph throughout your body. They are not same as blood vessels.
• Lymph nodes, are the glands which are found throughout the lymph vessels. Along with the spleen, these nodes are where white blood cells fight against infection.
• The cells are produced in the lymph by the bone marrow and thymus. They are also the part of the system.
• The lymphatic system is responsible for clearing away infection and for keeping your body fluids in balance.
• Lymphedema is caused when the system does not  function properly, causing the tissue to  become hydrated, causing swelling.
• Other problems with the lymphatic system  include obstructions, infections and cancer.
• Therefore, the right answer is B) Lymphatic tissue.
