The correct answer is: Peyer's patches
In the wall of the small intestine, lymphatic tissues are called Peyer's patches. These are groups of lymph nodules that are most numerous in the ileum. They produce lymphocytes.

Rugae are prominent folds found in an empty stomach. The mucous membrane of the small intestine is grown into many finger-like projections known as villi.
