Answer
A
lymph nodes
B
bone marrow
C
spleen
D

Explanation

White blood cells are produced primarily in the bone marrow, where blood-forming stem cells develop into different blood cells. Some white blood cells mature or become active in places such as the lymph nodes, spleen, and tonsils, but the bone marrow is the main site of production. Therefore, the correct choice is bone marrow.
