Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
In pigs, the right lymphatic duct drains into the right subclavian vein, which is a major blood vessel that is responsible for returning blood from the arms to the heart. This is different from humans, where the right lymphatic duct drains into the right internal jugular vein.
