(C) In the immune system,$T$-lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell that plays a central role in cell-mediated immunity. The letter '$T$' in '$T$-lymphocytes' stands for 'Thymus'. This is because these cells originate from stem cells in the bone marrow and then migrate to the thymus gland,where they mature and differentiate into functional $T$-cells.
