Question

1. pathogens in the throat are attacked by which lymphatic tissue?

the thymus
the spleen
the tonsils

Explanation:

Tonsils are located in the throat. They act as a first - line defense against pathogens entering through the mouth or nose. The thymus is mainly involved in T - cell maturation and is located in the upper chest. The spleen is in the abdomen and filters blood, not specifically targeting throat pathogens. So, the tonsils are the lymphatic tissue that attacks pathogens in the throat.

Answer:

C. the tonsils
