The answer is

D. behind the knee.

Step-by-step explanation:

The popliteal lymph nodes are small in size. They are usually six or seven in number and are embedded in the fat present in the popliteal fossa, sometimes referred to as the 'knee pit'. They service the lower legs and feet for the lymphatic system.
