Based on the image above, the organ that could be damaged is the SPLEEN which is represented by option C.

The spleen is an abdominal organ which has its major function as to filter the blood. It is also the largest lymphatic organ of the body.

The spleen filters the blood through the following mechanism

  • blood passes through the slpenic pulp and enters the sinuses where it undergoes squeezing,
  • old and damaged red blood cells  can not withstand the trauma are destroyed.
  • after the cells rupture, the released hemoglobin are further digested and the products reused by the body as nutrients and for making new blood.
