The correct answer to the question presented above is:

C) The arterial blood pressure. The effect of hydrostatic pressure inside the lymph nodes depends on the condition of the blood vessels. When hydrostatic pressure is increased, the significant amount of protein is dependent on the continuous exchange of lymph protein during nodal transit.
