Correct answer: D. Subclavian vein
- A. Lymph Nodes
- B. Lymphoid organs
- C. Lymph capillaries
- D. Subclavian vein
Explanation
Lymph eventually returns to the bloodstream by entering the subclavian vein, where it mixes with the blood and is recirculated through the body. This is how excess interstitial fluid and waste products are removed from tissues and transported back to the circulatory system for processing and elimination.

About Lymphatic System
The lymphatic system returns excess tissue fluid to the bloodstream and supports immune defence through lymph, lymph vessels, lymph nodes, the spleen, thymus and tonsils. It also transports absorbed fats from intestinal lacteals, which distinguishes lymphatic circulation from the blood vascular system.
