The correct answer is (2) Thymus

Hassall's corpuscles (or thymic corpuscles (bodies)) are structures found in the medulla of the human thymus. It is known that Hassall's corpuscles are a potent source of the cytokine TSLP. In vitro, TSLP directs the maturation of dendritic cells, and increases the ability of dendritic cells to convert naive thymocytes to a Foxp3+ regulatory T cell lineage. It is unknown if this is the physiological function of Hassall's corpuscles in vivo.
