Hello Student
Correct answer is 2. thymus
Hassal’s bodies are eosinophilic thymic corpuscles and are present in medulla. They are phagocytic in nature.

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.
