Which process produces lymphocytes?

Explanation:
Lymphocytes come from the lymphoid lineage through lymphopoiesis, the production and development of lymphoid cells. Hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow give rise to lymphoid progenitors that develop into B cells, T cells, and natural killer (NK) cells. In mammals, B cells mature in the bone marrow, while T cells mature in the thymus, and NK cells differentiate along that lymphoid pathway. This is distinct from other blood cell lines: thrombopoiesis makes platelets, erythropoiesis makes red blood cells, and granulopoiesis makes granulocytes like neutrophils, eosinophils, and basophils.
