Solution

The correct option is C

Valves


Valves prevent backflow of blood from ventricles to atria when ventricles contract and from the blood vessels to the ventricles when the ventricles relax. Valves are also present in the veins to prevent the backflow of blood and ensure blood flow only towards the heart.
