The lymphatic system returns excess interstitial fluid to the blood. Of the fluid that leaves the capillary, about 90 percent is returned. The 10 percent that does not return becomes part of the interstitial fluid that surrounds the tissue cells. It helps in exchange of gasses, nutrients and removes the metabolic waste. It is devoid of RBC. So, the correct answer is option B.

The 10 percent that does not return becomes part of the interstitial fluid that surrounds the tissue cells. It helps in exchange of gasses, nutrients and removes the metabolic waste. It is devoid of RBC. It contains fewer proteins than plasma and lacks RBC.  So, the correct answer is option A.

Lymph is watery clear fluid or colorless because it lacks red blood cells (erythrocytes). It consists of plasma and white blood cells (leucocytes) only.

WBCs are divided into leucocytes and lymphocytes. Lymphocytes are further divided into macrophages and monocytes. These cells help in the engulfment of any foreign particles inhaled or ingested by our body. Lymphocytes are considered as soldier cells of our body. A Large proportion of these cells is found in the lymphatic system wherein the lymph is present. Thus lymph provides immunity. So, the correct answer is option A.
