The fluid part of blood after the removal of corpuscles is called plasma. Therefore, the correct answer is option A: Plasma.

Here's a brief explanation of the terms:

Plasma: The liquid component of blood that remains after the removal of blood cells and clotting factors. It contains water, electrolytes, proteins (such as albumin and globulins), hormones, and waste products.
Lymph: A clear fluid that circulates through the lymphatic system, carrying white blood cells and other immune system components. It is not directly derived from blood plasma.
Serum: Similar to plasma but without the clotting factors (fibrinogen and other clotting proteins). Serum is obtained after allowing blood to clot and then removing the clotting factors and cells.
