The answer is D: White pulp.

Explanation for each option:

A. Hilum: The hilum is the part of the spleen where blood vessels and nerves enter and exit. It is not involved in surrounding the central arteriole.

B. Marginal zone: The marginal zone is a region of the spleen that lies between the white pulp and the red pulp. It contains macrophages and specialized B cells but does not directly surround the central arteriole.

C. Red pulp: The red pulp is involved in filtering the blood and removing old or damaged red blood cells. It does not surround the central arteriole.

D. White pulp: The white pulp is the lymphoid tissue in the spleen that surrounds the central arteriole. It is involved in the immune response and contains lymphocytes.

Summary: The component of the spleen that surrounds the central arteriole is the white pulp.
