The answer is the first one (or A): It's a primary lymphatic organ where T cell maturation happens.

Explanation for each option: a) Correct. The thymus gland is indeed a primary lymphatic organ where T cells (a type of white blood cell) mature. This process is crucial for the development of the adaptive immune system. b) Incorrect. B cells mature in the bone marrow, not in the thymus gland. c) Incorrect. The thymus is not a secondary lymphatic organ, and it is not associated with the heart in terms of its primary function. It is a primary lymphatic organ where T cells mature. d) Incorrect. The thymus is not a part of the heart, and it is not a secondary organ. It is a primary lymphatic organ where T cells mature.

Summary: The thymus gland's main role is to serve as a primary lymphatic organ where T cell maturation happens.
