B Correct answer
Explanation

Lymph is a clear fluid that lacks red blood cells (erythrocytes), which is the key difference from blood. It contains white blood cells (lymphocytes) but no red blood cells or platelets. Lymph does contain plasma-like fluid (lymphatic fluid), so option A is incorrect. The absence of red blood corpuscles gives lymph its characteristic clear/pale yellow color rather than the red color of blood.
