Correct answer: B

The thymus is a major gland of our immune system. The thymus is responsible for production of T (thymus dervied) lymphocytes from immature lymphocytes, a type of white blood cells responsible for cell mediated immunity.

It is also critical in protecting against cancer, autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis, allergies etc.
