Answer:

The correct answer is e. dermis

Step-by-step explanation:

Lymph capillaries are thin walled capillaries interwoven with blood capillaries and found throughout the body except nervous system, bone marrow, and tissues that do not contain vascular tissue like epidermis.

The role of lymphatic capillaries is to collect the extra fluid which is secreted by the tissues in the intercellular spaces. This fluid is called lymph and is clear and transparent and contains WBCs and plasma.

Lymph is different from blood because it do not contain RBCs and platelets. Lymphatic vessels are important part of body immunity because it contains many WBCs in their lymph helpful in fighting diseases.
