Model Answer
(b) B and D
Lymph contains plasma, proteins, and blood cells (not specifically RBCs), and lymph vessels finally open into larger veins, not arteries.
Source: Life Processes, Section 5.4.1
Explanation
The textbook states: "some amount of plasma, proteins and blood cells escape… to form lymph" (ruling out C, which incorrectly says only red blood cells) and "large lymph vessels… finally open into larger veins" (ruling out A, which says arteries). So B and D are both correct.
