Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Lymph enters the lymph node through afferent lymphatic vessels, which bring in lymph from surrounding tissues. Efferent lymphatic vessels carry lymph out of the lymph node, but the question is asking specifically about where lymph enters the node. The cortical sinus is a part of the lymph node where lymphatic fluid drains and circulates, but it is not where lymph enters the node.
