Solution

The correct option is B

Both A and R is true but R is not the correct explanation of A.


A portal system is a complex of blood vessels which begin and end in capillaries. A portal vein collects blood from a particular organ and distributes the blood to some other organ instead of sending it directly to the heart. All mammals have a hepatic portal system which carries blood from the digestive tract to the liver for various metabolic activities. Therefore, both A and R are true.
