The human lymphatic or lymphoid system is part of the
immune system. A network of lymphatic vessels throughout the body brings clear lymph
fluid from the tissues one way back to the heart. Along the way the lymphatics pass
through lymphoid tissue that is present in lymph nodes as well as lymphoid tissue
present in several areas throughout the body. For example, lymphoid tissue is present
along the digestive system. Accessory organs such as the tonsils contain lymphoid
follicles.
Another part of the lymphoid system is that
concerned with the production and circulation of lymphocytes, the cells that are
responsible for immune functions. These organs include the spleen, thymus and bone
marrow.
Thus, the answer to your question is “D.
Thyroid”. The others are part of the lymphoid system.
