Lymph is the fluid carrying the white blood cells. It protects the body against many infections. Lymph nodes are the small areas throughout the body and abundantly present in the neck, arm pits and groin areas. They contain the lymphocytes that fight infections. These nodes filter out harmful organisms and abnormal cells before the lymph reaches the blood. A swollen lymph node is an indication of an infection. It can be a minor infection like the ear infection, strep infection or serious medical problems like the lymphomas, other cancers and AIDS. During pharyngitis which is the inflammation of the pharynx, the lymph nodes swell with the T lymphocytes due to the immune response.

Answer:

Whatever has the most unprotected land.

Explanation:

I cannot see which country is the lightest color/shade of grey on your paper in the picture, but if you see, its given you a meter of 'greatest percentage of protected land.' The darker color being more protected than the lighter. this corresponds with the map. Find the country with the lightest color, state it, and say why. (Use the meter as your reasoning)

If this makes sense, I hope it helps! :)
