Given below are two statements.

Statement II : Lymph is an important carrier for nutrients, hormones and fats etc.
In light of the above statement, choose appropriate answer from the above options given below.

Both statement I and statement II are true.
As the blood passes through the capillaries in tissues, some water along with many small water-soluble substances move out into the spaces between the cells of tissues, leaving the larger proteins and most of the formed elements in the blood vessels. An elaborate network of vessels called the lymphatic system collects this fluid and drains it back to the major veins.
