Solution

The correct answer is "lymph nodes filter lymph, the spleen filters blood".

Here's why:

  1. Both T cells and B cells can encounter antigens and rearrange genes in both the spleen and lymph nodes, so the first four options are incorrect.

  2. The main difference between the spleen and lymph nodes lies in the type of fluid they filter. Lymph nodes filter lymph, a clear fluid that circulates around the body's tissues, while the spleen filters blood, removing old or damaged red blood cells and producing white blood cells and antibodies. This makes the last option the correct one.
