Hint:

{Destruction of blood cells occurs mainly in spleen and liver}.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Understanding fate of dead leucocytes.
Leucocytes (white blood cells) are destroyed mainly by phagocytic cells present in organs of the reticuloendothelial system.

Step 2: Role of different organs.
Spleen, liver, and lymph nodes contain macrophages that destroy old and dead leucocytes.
Blood only transports leucocytes and does not destroy them.

Step 3: Conclusion.
Hence, the correct answer is blood.
