Solution

The correct option is B Carry blood away from the heart to different organs
The arteries (red) carry oxygen and nutrients away from your hearth, to your body's tissues. They carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to all of the body's tissues. They branch several times, becoming smaller and smaller as they carry blood further from the heart. So, the correct answer is "Carry blood away from the heart to different organs."
