Option 1 : Spleen

Concept-

The spleen is the largest lymphatic organ of the body.
Lymphatic organs are the ones that carry the clear fluid lymph in them.
The spleen synthesizes antibodies in its white pulp and removes antibody-coated bacteria.
Spleen is an organ on the left side of the abdomen below the stomach.
It is also known as the “graveyard of blood” as it filters the blood by removing microbes and worn-out RBCs.
Spleen also has a large reservoir of erythrocytes.

Red blood cells have a lifespan of around 120 days, after which the spleen breaks them down and recycles iron from them.
Parts of the old cells are salvaged to make new red blood cells.
Spleen is an organ on the left side of the abdomen below the stomach.
