Lymphoid organs are the sites where origin, maturation, and proliferation of lymphocytes occur. They are classified into primary and secondary lymphoid organs.
Primary lymphoid organs are the sites where lymphocytes differentiate into antigen-sensitive lymphocytes. These include the Bone marrow and Thymus.
Secondary lymphoid organs provide the sites for interaction of lymphocytes with the antigen, which then proliferate to become effector cells. These include the Spleen, Lymph nodes, Tonsils, Peyer's patches, and Appendix.
Based on the classification: (a) Bone marrow is primary, (b) Tonsils are secondary, (c) Spleen is secondary, and (d) Thymus is primary. Therefore, (b) and (c) are the secondary lymphoid organs.
Final Answer: (C) (b) and (c) only
