Solution

The correct option is B False
Arteries carry oxygenated blood, from the heart to all parts of the body. Since they transport oxygen to various parts, they always have a high amount of oxygen. Veins, on the other hand, carry blood rich in carbon dioxide from all parts of the body to the heart. Hence, the statement is incorrect and both contain different amount of dissolved oxygen.
