The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the site of B-cell maturation in the human body. B-cells are a type of white blood cell that plays a crucial role in the immune response. 2. **Reviewing the Options**: The options provided are: - Thymus - Tonsils and adenoids - Not yet identified - Brain and spinal cord 3. **Analyzing Each Option**: - **Thymus**: This is known to be the site of T-cell maturation, not B-cells. T-cells are involved in cell-mediated immunity. - **Tonsils and Adenoids**: These structures are part of the immune system and help trap pathogens, but they are not the site of B-cell maturation. - **Not yet identified**: This option suggests that the site is unknown, but we know the site of B-cell maturation. - **Brain and Spinal Cord**: These structures are part of the central nervous system and are not involved in B-cell maturation. 4. **Identifying the Correct Site**: B-cells mature in the bone marrow. This is a crucial point as it distinguishes B-cell maturation from T-cell maturation, which occurs in the thymus. 5. **Conclusion**: Since the options do not list the bone marrow, the best answer based on the given options is "not yet identified," as it implies that the correct site (bone marrow) is not mentioned. **Final Answer**: The site of B-cell maturation in the human body is the bone marrow, but since this is not listed in the options, the answer is "not yet identified." ---
