a. lymph vessels.

c. intestinal walls.
d. thymus gland.
The lymphatic system of our body consists of lymphatic vessels and lymphatic organs. This system circulates a fluid called lymph. The elements of this system gather liquid from the body and return it to the cardiovascular system.
The lymphatic system is an accessory route by which interstitial fluid can be returned to the blood. The majority of secondary lymphoid tissue in the human body is associated with the lining of the respiratory, digestive, and genitourinary tract. These are collectively called mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue [MALT]. There are several types of MALT. Two major MALT includes bronchial associated lymphoid tissue [BALT] and gut-associated lymphoid tissue [GALT]. GALT includes the tonsils, adenoids and specialised organs in the small intestine called the Peyer's patches. They can be observed as elongated thickenings of the epithelium of the small intestine.
Hence, option "c" is the correct answer.
