Final Answer : A, Explanation :  The lymphatic system is responsible for collecting excess fluid and solutes from the interstitial fluid and returning it to the circulatory system. Lymphatic vessels collect this excess fluid, also called lymph, and filter it through lymph nodes before returning it to the bloodstream. The other options listed do not have this function. Arterioles and venules are types of blood vessels that transport blood to and from capillaries, while interstitial fluid is the fluid that surrounds cells in tissues.
