Solution

The process in the differentiation of the B-cell lineage that takes place primarily in the lymph nodes (as opposed to the bone marrow) is the "removal of the gene regions coding for the γ (G class) heavy chain constant domains". This process is part of the class switch recombination (CSR) that occurs in the lymph nodes. The other processes listed typically occur in the bone marrow during early B cell development.
